_cli_linux

Linux users should install the CLI via the install script:

sh -c "$(curl -Lfs https://downloads.speedscale.com/speedctl/install)"

Note

You can inspect the install script to see what it does. Root permission is not required to execute this script.

Install a specific version by passing it to the install script:

sh -c "$(curl -Lfs https://downloads.speedscale.com/speedctl/install)" -s v2.3.86

tip

To install non interactively (like in CI/CD) set the SPEEDSCALE_API_KEY environment variable to your API key

Optionally skip the install script and install manually:

# Download speedctl binary on your machine
curl "https://downloads.speedscale.com/speedctl/speedctl-linux-$(case $(uname -m) in x86_64) echo 'amd64';; arm | arm64 | aarch64) echo 'arm64';; esac)" -o speedctl

# Create speedscale directory and move the binary to the directory
mkdir ~/.speedscale
mv ./speedctl ~/.speedscale

# Give execute permission to the binary
chmod +x ~/.speedscale/speedctl

Reminder

Don't forget to add speedctl to your $PATH variable in your shell's rcfile:

# substitute your shell's rcfile
echo "export PATH=\$PATH:$HOME/.speedscale" >> ~/.zshrc
