Plow CLI setup

Installing Rust toolchain

To install the Plow CLI, currently an installation of a recent version of the Rust language toolchain (opens in a new tab) is required.

🚧️

To provide an easier setup process that doesn't require installing the Rust toolchain, we are working on providing pre-built binaries of the CLI (opens in a new tab).

Installing the Plow CLI binary

To install the Plow CLI via cargo, you can run in a terminal:

Shell

cargo install plow_cli

After the installation is finished, you can verify that the binary is available via:

Shell

plow --help

Login to public registry

In order to take certain actions with the Plow CLI (e.g. publishing a package) or to have access to private packages that have been shared with your Plow registry account, you have to authenticate your installation of the CLI.

Log in (or create an account) under registry.field33.com (opens in a new tab)
In your account settings create a new User Token, and copy it to your clipboard
In a terminal run (substituting [USER_TOKEN] with the token from your clipboard):
Shell
```
plow login [USER_TOKEN]
```
