This Swift package provides a kitura
command-line interface, to simplify the process of creating Kitura applications.
(Note: this Swift version is still an early work-in-progress. Please check again in a bit for more features)
Kitura's CLI may be installed using Homebrew:
$ brew tap kitura/kitura
$ brew install kitura
You can install (either on Mac or Linux) with this one-liner:
$ curl -fsSL https://github.com/Kitura/kitura-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sudo bash
The kitura
binary will be placed in your /usr/local/bin
directory.
If you'd prefer not to use a script, the binary can be installed manually by downloading the release binary from GitHub. In the following commands, substitute <release>
for the version of the CLI you are installing.
On Mac:
$ curl -LO https://github.com/Kitura/kitura-cli/releases/download/<release>/kitura-cli_<release>_darwin.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf kitura-cli_<release>_darwin.tar.gz
$ sudo mv darwin-amd64/kitura /usr/local/bin/
On Linux:
curl -LO https://github.com/Kitura/kitura-cli/releases/download/<release>/kitura-cli_<release>_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i kitura-cli_<release>_amd64.deb
