Binary installation of sloctl

Use the following steps to download the Nobl9 CLI. The following are platform-specific instructions:

MacOS

Method 1: Usinghomebrew

1. For macOS, we recommend using homebrew:

brew tap nobl9/sloctl

brew install sloctl

Method 2: Manual installation

1. Download the appropriate binary executable file from sloctl release pages.
• After the executable zip file downloads, you will need to place the file in the appropriate system path and rename it to sloctl.
• The Mac operating system occasionally requires file permissions. When this happens, give the file executable permission.
2. Move the binary file to your Downloads folder.
3. Open Terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
sudo cp ~/Downloads/sloctl /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/sloctl
open /usr/local/bin

4. The last open command above will navigate to the bin folder in Finder.
5. Right-click sloctl in the Finder window and select Open.

Open is not the default option when the security modal pops up. Selecting Open authorizes the sloctl binary on your Mac.

Windows

The method of installation will vary slightly depending on your system role:

1. Download the appropriate executable binary file from the sloctl releases page
2. Depending on your system role:
• If you're Admin: Create the directory C:\Program Files\nobl9.
• If you're User: Create a nobl9 folder in your user directory.
3. Rename the file to sloctl.exe.
4. Copy the sloctl.exe file from the folder you downloaded it to the nobl9 folder created in the first step.

Non-Admin users must add the .exe directory to the System Path Variable.
Follow the steps below to finish your installation:

1. Navigate to Control Panel > System and Security > System and click Advanced system settings.
2. Click the Advanced tab in the System Properties page, and click Environment Variables.
3. Navigate to User variables for username section, and select Path
4. Navigate to System Variables and select Path (If you only have access to the user variables, then make the update there.)
5. Click Edit.
6. Add the directory where you placed the file.
7. Click OK.

Linux

1. Download the appropriate binary executable file from sloctl release pages.
2. Move the binary file to where the $PATH is pointing at, for example: /usr/local/bin.
3. Rename the binary file to sloctl
4. The Linux operating system occasionally requires file permissions. When this happens, give the file executable permission.
5. Finally, type sloctl to run the program.

Great, now you can configure your sloctl and get it going!
