Installation

Prerequisites

This guide assumes a some familiarity with basic linux commands. If not, here is a great place to start.

Don't copy-paste the $ signs, they indicate that what follows is a terminal command

Terminal emulator

Linux and MacOS will have a terminal installed already. For Windows, it is recommended that you use git-bash, which you can install from here.

Type echo Hi in the terminal once it is installed. If installed correctly, you should see Hi appear when you hit enter.

Installation instructions for Git can be found here.

Run git --version in the terminal if git has been installed correctly:

$ git --version
git version 2.33.0

Run node -v in the terminal if node has been installed correctly:

$ node -v
v16.11.0

Docker

Run docker -v in terminal to check if docker has been installed correctly:

$ docker -v

Run docker-compose -v in terminal to check if docker-compose has been installed correctly:

Installing the CLI

To install the CLI, run:

$ npm install --global registry-cli

In case you encounter a permission denied/access denied error here, prefix the command with sudo: sudo npm install --global registry-cli.

To check if the Registry CLI has been installed correctly, run:

$ registry --help

This should show you all the commands you can execute using the CLI.
