Download the Latest Version

1. Get the latest ByteNite CLI release from GitHub.

   • Executable files are available for Unix-like systems (e.g., Linux, macOS) and Windows.

Rename the Executable

1. For convenience, rename the downloaded file to bytenite to avoid typing the full command bytenite-cli-[release] each time.

Set Executable Permissions

1. Ensure the file has executable permissions:

chmod +x bytenite

Additional Permissions for Mac Users

Mac users have to manually give permissions for the System Settings > Privacy & Security before running a ByteNite command the first time.

Follow the necessary steps as shown in the image below to let your OS know ByteNite is safe to use.

Install Globally (Optional)

1. To install the executable globally, move it to a directory included in your system's PATH, such as /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin. Use the following command:

sudo mv bytenite /usr/local/bin/

Verify Installation

1. Run the executable from anywhere using:

bytenite [command]

Authenticate

1. To authenticate, run:

bytenite auth

This will open an oAuth2 authentication page in your browser. The login is automatic if you're already logged in on ByteNite.

After successful authentication, credentials will be stored in the application support or configuration directory:

• Linux: /$HOME/.config/bytenite-cli/auth.json
