Installation

Prerequisites

The Moog command-line-interface (CLI) can run on Linux and MacOS.

Installing Moog's CLI

The recommended way for end-users to install the Moog CLI is to download the pre-built binaries for your platform from the releases page

Alternatively, if you are a Nix user you may run the CLI directly from the official repository:

nix shell github:cardano-foundation/moog?dir=cli#moog

For additional ways, see the CONTRIBUTING files in the source repository.

After installation, you should be able to run:

moog --help

If this prints out Moog's CLI help, you have successfully installed the CLI.

Optional CLI features

You can enable bash completion for the moog command by adding the following line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile file:

source <(moog --bash-completion-script "$(which moog)")

You can have a pretty output (not valid JSON, but easier to read) by passing --pretty switch or setting the MOOG_PRETTY environment variable to any value:

Be careful that, in general, | jq, will not work with this setting.

export MOOG_PRETTY=1

For scripting purposes you can disable the pretty effect of the env-var by passing --no-pretty switch.
