# Downloads

If you don't have Golang installed or don't want to build yourself (try it, it's not complex!), you can download the latest pre-built release here (I recommend putting it into `~/bin` or `/usr/local/bin`):

- Linux: [64 bit][linux-x64] or [32 bit][linux-x64]

- Mac OSX: [64 bit][osx-x64] or [32 bit][osx-x86]

[linux-x64]: https://github.com/cfstras/pcm/releases/download/1.2/pcm-linux-x64

[linux-x86]: https://github.com/cfstras/pcm/releases/download/1.2/pcm-linux-x86

[osx-x86]: https://github.com/cfstras/pcm/releases/download/1.2/pcm-osx-x86

# Requirements to build

- *nix (Successfully tested on OSX and Linux)

- Golang 1.5+ (Available in most distros, for OSX: Homebrew!)

# Installing

Once you have Golang, (go to [golang.org/dl](https://golang.org/dl/) or install with homebrew: `brew install go`)

- Set a `GOPATH` and include `$GOPATH/bin` in your `$PATH` (put these instructions in your `.bashrc`):

    export GOPATH=$HOME/go

    export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

- Install the software:

    go get github.com/cfstras/pcm

- The binary will be at `$GOPATH/bin/pcm`, and will search for a connections.xml to be in $HOME/Downloads/.

- To invoke:

    pcm                          # open the UI

    pcm my-node                  # Open the UI, prefill the search box with "my-node"

Once you have the UI, use arrow keys to navigate, type to search, and press enter to connect.

### Arguments

    -connectionsPath path/to/xml # to override the search path to connections.xml

    -verbose/-v                  # display full info (with password) and hostname before connecting

    -simple                      # disable UI

Hint: If you don't want to put your connections.xml into Downloads, put this alias in your `~/.bashrc`:

    alias pcm="$GOPATH/bin/pcm -connectionsPath $HOME/secret/connections.xml"
