Linode CLI (developer release #7)
Linode CLI is Linode's command line tool for interacting with your Linode services.
This is our seventh early developer release of a command line tool we're working on that will eventually allow you to interact with all Linode services.
We want to thank everyone that is using Linode CLI so far! Send us your feedback and help make Linode CLI even more awesome!
What's New in This Release?
* Packaging for Debian and Ubuntu systems.
A new StackScript command (source), that now allows source code output.
Patched a minor issue with the configure option.
Repository:https://github.com/linode/cli
Packaging for Debian and Ubuntu systems
On Debian and Ubuntu systems, you'll need to add Linode's apt repository and trust the package signing key (you can skip this step if you've installed Linode Longview on your system):
$ echo "deb http://apt.linode.com/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linode.list
$ wget -O- https://apt.linode.com/linode.gpg | apt-key add -
Then, update your package index and install Linode CLI.
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install linode-cli
New Example
Output a StackScripts source code into a local file.
$ linode stackscript source mystackscript > myscript.sh
How to Get the Source
Linode CLI is hosted on GitHub and is open source, dual-licensed under the GPLv2 and the Perl Artistic License. This is a developer release, so for now, depending on your system, you may need to install dependencies manually as described in the README.
Enjoy!
