Before you beginYou need the cluck CLI, a Pollosoft account, and a coop to work in. No prior experience required. Curiosity and a mild fondness for chickens are helpful.
Overview
Every way to install the CLI on every operating system that has a perch. The whole thing takes about 5 minutes, and the commands below are the ones you will use along the way.
$ curl -fsSLO https://get.pollosoft.example/cluck.sh
$ sh cluck.sh
$ cluck versionSteps
- Pick an installer. Homebrew, apt, winget, and a plain shell script are all supported. Use whichever you trust most near a fox.
- Verify the install. Run cluck version. If you see a version number and a cheerful bawk, you are done.
- Run the doctor. cluck doctor checks your PATH, your credentials, and whether your network can reach the coop.
- Keep it fresh. cluck update fetches the latest release. We ship every second Tuesday, shortly after sunrise.
