Prerequisites

Before setting up the Aembit CLI, ensure you have the following:

• A Linux or Windows Server system (see Supported operating systems)
• Access to a terminal or command prompt
• Internet access to download the CLI binary

Download and setup Aembit CLI

To setup the Aembit Agent CLI, follow these steps:

Linux

1. Download the Aembit Agent CLI from:

   curl -O "https://releases.aembit.io/agent/1.24.3328/linux/amd64/aembit_agent_cli_linux_amd64_1.24.3328.tar.gz"

2. Extract the CLI binary:

   tar -xf aembit_agent_cli_linux_amd64_1.24.3328.tar.gz

   The Aembit CLI is ready to use.

3. Verify that you can run the Aembit CLI:

   ./aembit --version
   Aembit Agent CLI 1.24.3328

   Adding aembit to PATH

   For convenience, you may want to add the aembit command to your PATH so you can run it from anywhere.

   You can do this by either:

   • Adding the following command to your ~/.profile, which adds the current working directory where you extracted the aembit binary to your PATH:

     export PATH="$PATH:$(pwd)"

   • Moving the aembit binary to a directory that’s already in your PATH, such as /usr/local/bin:

     sudo mv aembit /usr/local/bin/

Windows

1. Download the Aembit Agent CLI from:

   Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://releases.aembit-eng.com/agent/1.24.3328/windows/amd64/aembit_agent_cli_windows_amd64_1.24.3328.zip" -Outfile aembit_agent_cli_windows_amd64_1.24.3328.zip       ```

2. Extract the CLI binary:

   Expand-Archive -Path "aembit_agent_cli_windows_amd64_1.24.3328.zip" -DestinationPath "."

   The Aembit CLI is ready to use.

3. Verify that you can run the Aembit CLI:

   .\aembit.exe --version
   Aembit Agent CLI 1.24.3328

   Adding aembit to PATH

   For convenience, you may want to add the aembit command to your PATH so you can run it from anywhere.

   You can do this by either:

   • Adding the directory where you extracted the aembit.exe binary to your system’s PATH environment variable.

   • Moving the aembit.exe binary to a directory that’s already in your PATH, such as C:\Program Files\Aembit\.
