Synse CLI¶

github.com/vapor-ware/synse-cli

The Synse CLI is a command line tool which can be used to interface with Synse Server and Synse plugins directly. It allows for real-time queries and interaction with devices exposed by Synse, making it easy to get started with Synse, develop, and debug.

Installing¶

Homebrew¶

To install from Homebrew, you will first need to add the vapor-ware tap

brew tap vapor-ware/formula

To install:

brew install vapor-ware/formula/synse

The CLI will be installed as synse and be placed on your path.

$ which synse
/usr/local/bin/synse

Precompiled Binaries¶

Precompiled binaries are available as artifacts on GitHub releases. To download the binary and place it on your $PATH:

# Set variables for download
export CLI_VERSION="3.0.0"
export CLI_OS="darwin"
export CLI_ARCH="amd64"

# Download and install the CLI
wget \
  https://github.com/vapor-ware/synse-cli/releases/download/${CLI_VERSION}/synse-cli_${CLI_VERSION}_${CLI_OS}_${CLI_ARCH}.tar.gz \
  -O /usr/local/bin/synse

# Make the binary executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/synse

From Source¶

If you wish to build from source, you will first need to fork and clone the repo. From within the project root directory, you can build using the Makefile target:

make build

Which will create the synse binary in the project directory. If you wish, you can add it to your PATH.
