Getting started

​
Get the Heex CLI

You can directly fetch the CLI using command line. In your terminal, run the following (replace <USER_SECRET_KEY> by your personnal user secret key): 
curl --fail -X GET "https://api.app.heex.io/v1/cli/download?operating_system=$(. /etc/os-release && echo ${ID}_${VERSION_ID}_$(uname -m))" \
   -H "secret_key: <USER_SECRET_KEY>" -o heex && chmod +x heex
If you already have the CLI installed, you can update it with the following command: 
./heex update --api-key <USER_SECRET_KEY>
Once you have your heex executable, you can get a list of all available CLI commands by calling: 
./heex --help
Enable shell autocompletion for subcommands and parameters: 
./heex completion
Please follow the instructions written at the end of the completion command to enable the autocompletion in your current terminal.
