Installation

There are two channels of chectl: stable and next

Stable is for all tagged versions of Eclipse Che. Next is updated after each commit/Pull Request being merged in main branch of the Chectl repository.

If you're using Windows x64, here is how to install chectl by using one single PowerShell command:

For stable channel:

C:\Users> Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://www.eclipse.org/che/chectl/win/'))

For next channel:

C:\Users> $CHANNEL="next"; Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://www.eclipse.org/che/chectl/win/'))

If you're using linux or macOS, here is how to install chectl by using one single command:

For stable channel:

$ bash <(curl -sL  https://www.eclipse.org/che/chectl/)

For next channel:

$ bash <(curl -sL  https://www.eclipse.org/che/chectl/) --channel=next

Manual install:

Download a .tgz file based on your Operating System / Arch from https://github.com/che-incubator/chectl/releases
Unpack the assembly
Move chectl folder into a folder like $HOME/chectl
Add alias alias chectl=$HOME/chectl/bin/run

Updating

Download a .tgz file based on your Operating System / Arch from https://github.com/che-incubator/chectl/releases
Unpack the assembly into a local repository

CHECTL_BINARIES=<DOWNLOADED_BINARIES_PATH>

CLIENT_DIR=${XDG_DATA_HOME:="$(cd && pwd)/.local/share"}/chectl/client/${CHECTL_VERSION}
mkdir ${CLIENT_DIR} -p
tar -xzf ${CHECTL_BINARIES} -C ${CLIENT_DIR} --strip-components=1
