Installing eo, the EmbedOps CLI

eo was developed and tested on Windows via WSL, Linux, and Mac. An application that supports running a container engine is required if you plan on using the Development Containers generated by eo's templating feature.

Install Optional Dependencies

  1. A container engine is required to run Dev Containers specified by some files generated by eo. Here are some possible options:
    • Docker Dektop
    • Podman
    • Lima

Install the EmbedOps CLI

The EmbedOps CLI can be installed using the following commands in a terminal:

To install the latest release: 

cd /usr/local
curl -fsSL https://gitlab.com/embedops-public/embedops-cli/-/raw/main/install.sh | sh
To install a specific version of eo, you can run: 
cd /usr/local
curl -fsSL https://gitlab.com/embedops-public/embedops-cli/-/raw/main/install.sh | EMBEDOPS_VERSION=1.0.0 sh
If your user account doesn't have sufficient privileges to install in /usr/local and sudo is available, use the following command instead: 
cd /usr/local
curl -fsSL https://gitlab.com/embedops-public/embedops-cli/-/raw/main/install.sh | EMBEDOPS_VERSION=1.0.0 sudo -E sh
Verify the installation succeeded by running: 
eo version
You should see the following output: 
$ eo version
embedops: 1.0.0

The quickest way of installing eo on Linux is to run the following command: 

curl -fsSL https://gitlab.com/embedops-public/embedops-cli/-/raw/main/install.sh | BIN_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin sh

Note

This installs eo in $HOME/.local/bin which is not generally in the user's $PATH

If you want to set a specific version or install path, you can run: 

curl -fsSL ttps://gitlab.com/embedops-public/embedops-cli/-/raw/main/install.sh | EMBEDOPS_VERSION=1.0.0 BIN_DIR=/usr/bin sudo -E sh
Verify the installation succeeded by running: 
/usr/bin/eo version
You should see the following output: 
$ /usr/bin/eo version
embedops: 1.0.0
