Install

To install the secretcli download the latest version here. Download the appropriate version of the secretcli based on the operating system you are using:

  • secretcli-Linux

  • secretcli-macOS

  • secretcli-MacOS-arm64

  • secretcli-Windows

Linux

After downloading secretcli-Linux you will need to navigate to the folder you have download it to make secretcli-Linux an executable program using a graphical user interface (GUI) or the command-line.

Note: Installing secretcli-Linux will ONLY give you access to the secretcli commands. For secretcli and secretd commands install one of the .deb packages.

GUI

Right click on the secretcli-Linux file and select 'Properties', then select 'Permissions', and then check the 'Allow executing the file as program' box beside the 'Execute' column.

Command-line

To make secretcli-Linux executable using the command-line navigate to where the file is located and use the following command:

chmod +x secretcli-Linux

Next Steps

You can now use the secretcli by using the following command inside of the folder it is located in with:

./secretcli-Linux

You will see some outputs related to available commands, flags, and usage.

It is recommended to rename seretcli-Linux to 'secretcli', and move the executable file into the correct location so it is automatically executable by typing secretcli anywhere within the command-line.

To achieve this use the following commands in the directory containing secretcli-Linux:

sudo mv secretcli-Linux /usr/local/bin/secretcli

Congrats! The secretcli is now installed!

Mac

Download the correct version of the secretcli for the Mac hardware on your system here. After downloading the secretcli there are two steps required to allow your system to execute the cli.

First, open your terminal application and navigate to the directory containing the secretcli file for your systems hardware. Once in the correct directory you will need to rename the file, and make the file executable using the following commands:

# for intel mac users use the command below 
mv secretcli-macOS secretcli

# for arm64 mac users use the command below 
mv secretcli-MacOS-arm64 secretcli

# Now make the file executable
chmod 755 secretcli

Mac users are required to perform another step after making the secretcli executable on their machines. This is because MacOs cannot recognize the developer of the secretcli file. Try running the following command in the directory containing the executable secretcli:

./secretcli

You will get a warning popup window with text similar to the following --> “secretcli” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. There will be two options: move to trash or cancel. Select cancel.

You will see the text: "secretcli" was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer. Click the 'Allow Anyway' button.

Now you should be able to use the secretcli when inside of the folder it is found in:

./secretcli 

You will see the following warning popup, click 'open'.

After clicking open you should see the following output in your terminal application:

mkdir "$home\appdata\local\secretcli"
mv secretcli-Windows "$home/appdata/local/secretcli/secretcli.exe"
$old_path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('path', 'user');
$new_path = $old_path + ';' + "$home\appdata\local\secretcli"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('path', $new_path,'User');

Restart your terminal and test the installation by running:

secretcli

Update SecretCLI (Windows)

To update or install a different version of SecretCLI on Windows, download the release of secretcli-Windows and move it to the correct location:

mv secretcli-Windows "$home/appdata/local/secretcli/secretcli.exe"

The other commands do not need to be run again if they have already been run on your account.
