Installing Anchore CLI from source

==================================



The Anchore CLI can be installed from source using the Python pip utility



.. code::



    git clone https://github.com/anchore/anchore-cli

    cd anchore-cli

    pip install --user --upgrade .



Or can be installed from the installed form source from the Python `PyPI `_ package repository.



Installing Anchore CLI on CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux

=============================================================



.. code::



    yum install epel-release

    yum install python-pip

    pip install anchorecli



Installing Anchore CLI on Debian and Ubuntu

===========================================



.. code::



    apt-get update

    apt-get install python-pip

    pip install anchorecli

    Note make sure ~/.local/bin is part of your PATH or just export it directly: export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin/:$PATH"



Installing Anchore CLI on Mac OS / OS X

===========================================



Use Python's `pip` package manager:



.. code::



    sudo easy_install pip

    pip install --user anchorecli

    export PATH=${PATH}:${HOME}/Library/Python/2.7/bin



To ensure `anchore-cli` is readily available in subsequent terminal sessions, remember to add that last line to your shell profile (`.bash_profile` or equivalent).



To update `anchore-cli` later:



.. code::



    pip install --user --upgrade anchorecli



Configuring the Anchore CLI

===========================



By default the Anchore CLI will try to connect to the Anchore Engine at ``http://localhost/v1`` with no authentication.

The username, password and URL for the server can be passed to the Anchore CLI as command line arguments.



.. code::



    --u   TEXT   Username     eg. admin

    --p   TEXT   Password     eg. foobar

    --url TEXT   Service URL  eg. http://localhost:8228/v1



Rather than passing these parameters for every call to the cli they can be stores as environment variables.



.. code::



    ANCHORE_CLI_URL=http://myserver.example.com:8228/v1

    ANCHORE_CLI_USER=admin

    ANCHORE_CLI_PASS=foobar
