CEDAR CLI is CEDAR's command line interface used to facilitate:

• Development
• Docker install
• Native install
• Managing a running CEDAR server

As such, you should install cedar-cli in the context of an existing or a new CEDAR installation.

This is why we are setting CEDAR_HOME and the alias in the script below. You should have these set in your bash profile.

export CEDAR_HOME='/Users/cedar-dev/CEDAR/'

cd ${CEDAR_HOME}
git clone https://github.com/metadatacenter/cedar-cli

cd cedar-cli
git checkout develop

python -m venv ./.venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

alias cedarcli='source $CEDAR_HOME/cedar-cli/cli.sh'

cedar.py --help

cedar-cli is executed by running cedarcli after the alias is set.

The available commands will be listed by executing:

cedarcli

The full set of commands and subcommands will be shown as a pdf file after executing:
