All builds are available at the releases page. The program is a single executable and to install it is simply placing it into a directory configured in the PATH of the system.

A simple way to install, if you are using Mac OS or Linux, is to run the commands bellow with elevated permissions (like as root):

curl -L https://github.com/gumieri/ecsctl/releases/latest/download/ecsctl-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/ecsctl
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ecsctl

For modern Linux systems, it would be recomended to place the executable at ~/.local/bin, the command for it does not require elevated permission:

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl -L https://github.com/gumieri/ecsctl/releases/latest/download/ecsctl-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o ~/.local/bin/ecsctl
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/ecsctl

To upgrade program to the latest version available, just run:

ecsctl upgrade

ecsctl will look for configurations at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ecsctl/config.yaml or ~/.ecsctl/config.yaml. The file can be a JSON, TOML, YAML, HCL or envfile. Any configuration can also be set as environment variable and it also respect the AWS_* environment variables or roles from AWS IAM (by extension of the AWS SDK).

A configuration example:

region: "us-east-1"
cluster: "awesome"
