Manually install go-c8y-cli just using the binary

INSTALL_GO_C8Y_CLI_MANUALLY.md

Manually download and install the binary

1. Download the binary

   Linux / MacOS / WSL

   Make sure you choose the appropriate cpu architecture for your machine! Check out the options in the assets section of the latest release.

   mkdir -p "$HOME/bin"
   wget -O "$HOME/bin/c8y" https://github.com/reubenmiller/go-c8y-cli/releases/download/v2.37.0/c8y_linux_arm64 
   chmod +x "$HOME/bin/c8y"
   
   # Add this line to your shell profile
   export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

   Windows Native (PowerShell)

   mkdir "$HOME/bin"
   Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/reubenmiller/go-c8y-cli/releases/download/v2.37.0/c8y_windows_amd64.exe -OutFile "$HOME/bin/c8y.exe"
   
   # Add this line to your shell profile ($PROFILE...you may need to create the file/folders)
   $env:PATH = "$HOME/bin;" + $env:PATH

2. Install default views (via a go-c8y-cli extension, this requires git to be installed!)

   c8y extensions install reubenmiller/c8y-defaults

   If you don't have git installed then you can just download the repository from github.com directly.

   The c8y-defaults folder should be placed in the following folder:

   mkdir -p "$HOME/.cumulocity/extensions"
   

3. Load the tab completions

   # bash
   source <(c8y completion bash)
   
   # zsh
   autoload -U compinit; compinit
   source <(c8y completion zsh)
   
   # PowerShell
   c8y completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

   It helps if add this command in your shell profile so that you don't have to run the command each time you want to use go-c8y-cli.

   For zsh users, you might also want to add the following zsh profile (~/.zshrc) to make the tab completion more readable.

   # zsh styles
   zstyle ':completion:*' menu select
   
   # bind shift+tab to reverse menu complete
   zmodload zsh/complist
   bindkey -M menuselect '^[[Z' reverse-menu-complete
   

4. Create a new session (only need to do it once)

   c8y sessions create

5. Activate the session

   # bash
   eval "$(c8y sessions set)"
   
   # zsh
   eval "$(c8y sessions set)"
   
   # PowerShell
   c8y sessions set | out-string | invoke-expression

6. Start using go-c8y-cli

   c8y devices list
