The Tugboat Command Line Tool is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
There is currently no installer included with the Windows version of the Tugboat Command Line Tool. You’ll either need to execute it from the directory where you downloaded it, or copy it to a directory in the system PATH variable.
To copy the Tugboat CLI into a directory in the system PATH variable:
C:\Program Files\Tugboat, and copy the downloaded tugboat.exe to that folder.C:\Program Files\Tugboat to your system PATH variable.A good article describing how to modify the PATH variable for each version of Windows can be found at https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
We recommend using Homebrew to manage the Tugboat CLI for MacOS users, but if you don’t use brew, you can install the CLI manually using the static binary.
With Homebrew installed, first enable the Tugboat Homebrew Tap:
brew tap tugboatqa/tugboat
Once you’re set up to use the Tugboat Homebrew tap, you can install the Tugboat CLI:
brew install tugboat-cli
To update the Tugboat CLI to the latest version with Homebrew:
brew upgrade tugboat-cli
Happy brewing!
