Description
The divekit install
command makes the Divekit CLI globally available by creating a symbolic link to the executable in a directory included in your system’s PATH. It supports cross-platform installation and handles permissions appropriately.
Key features:
- Creates system PATH symlinks
- Cross-platform support (macOS, Linux, Windows)
- Proper permission handling
- Displays current version after installation
Examples
Basic Installation
$ divekit install
Installing divekit in home directory...
[√] divekit installed in home directory
[√] divekit executable added to PATH
Verify Installation
$ divekit --version
divekit version v1.0.0
Updates (Planned)
- Check for newer versions:
divekit update --check
(displays current and available versions) - Automatic update application (future release)
- Support for package managers like Homebrew or Snap for easier distribution
Cross-Platform Support
- macOS: Symlink created in
/usr/local/bin/divekit
- Linux: Symlink created in
~/bin/divekit
or/usr/local/bin/divekit
(depending on permissions) - Windows: Adds to PATH via environment variable (requires admin rights for system-wide)
Notes
- Installation currently requires manual PATH setup on some systems if the symlink directory is not in PATH
- Exit codes indicate success/failure
- Supports both interactive and non-interactive modes
- Reinstallation handles existing symlinks gracefully
