CLI

CS:DM comes with a CLI (Command Line Interface) with multiple commands, allowing you to do tasks without running the GUI.

Installation

Windows

The CLI is automatically installed when you install the application with the installer.

macOS

1. Install the application following the installation guide
2. From a terminal, run:
   echo '\nexport PATH="/Applications/CS Demo Manager.app/Contents/Resources:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
3. Restart your terminal

caution

The above command assumes that the you are using the default macOS shell zsh (since macOS Catalina). If you are using another shell, you have to replace ~/.zshrc with the correct configuration file.

Linux

1. Install the application following the installation guide
2. Find the path where the application is installed. It depends of your distribution, for example:
   • Debian dpkg -L cs-demo-manager (should be /opt/CS Demo Manager)
   • RPM rpm -ql cs-demo-manager (should be /usr/share/cs-demo-manager)
3. From a terminal run (replace /the/app/path with the real application path):
   echo '\nexport PATH="/the/app/path:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
4. Restart your terminal

caution

The above command assumes that your shell is bash. If you are using another shell, you have to replace ~/.bashrc with the correct configuration file.
