Crossbar.io Shell (cbsh) is a tool belt for Crossbar.io featuring:

1. an interactive shell to access Crossbar.io Fabric Center and manage your Crossbar.io Fabric nodes from one central place and command line
2. a service scaffolding system that gets you started quickly using templates for Crossbar.io and Autobahn:

For Linux (64-bit), we provide cbsh as a one-file executable that is completely statically linked and should run on basically any Linux distribution.

Run this command to download the latest version of the Crossbar.io Shell executable and install to /usr/local/bin:

sudo curl -L https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/download.crossbario.com/cbsh/linux/cbsh -o /usr/local/bin/cbsh

Apply executable permissions to the binary:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cbsh

Test the installed binary:

oberstet@thinkpad-t430s:~$ which cbsh
/usr/local/bin/cbsh
oberstet@thinkpad-t430s:~$ cbsh version

As the installation path /usr/local/bin is in the search PATH of most Linux systems by default, cbsh will be automatically available for all users on the system.

To update cbsh at a later time, just download the new version by rerunning above curl command.

cbsh should run on any system with a recent Python 3, and we publish releases on PyPI.

We recommend installation into a dedicated Python virtual environment:

python3 -m venv cbsh
cbsh/bin/pip3 install --no-cache cbsh

To check the installation:

oberstet@thinkpad-t430s:~$ cbsh/bin/cbsh version

Crossbar.io Shell 18.4.6-dev2

Platform                : Linux-4.4.0-119-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.9
Python (language)       : 3.5.2
Python (implementation) : CPython
Autobahn                : 18.4.1
Docker Compose          : 1.21.0
Sphinx                  : 1.7.2
Frozen executable       : no

You can also activate the Python virtual environment by doing (on Unix):

source cbsh/bin/activate

This will make the Python of the virtual environment, and the cbsh installed therein available without qualifying paths - in the current terminal session.

Finally, you can add the directory path cbsh/bin/ to your environment search PATH, eg on Unix systems by export PATH=${HOME}/cbsh/bin:${PATH}. That will make cbsh available in terminal sessions automtically.

To update cbsh at a later time, run:

cbsh/bin/pip3 install --no-cache --upgrade cbsh
