Initial install of the Sym CLI
Install
Automatic Install
Installing the sym CLI is as simple as running one command:
curl https://install.symops.io/sym.sh | bash
If your install succeeded, you should now have sym in your path.
$ sym version
0.1.22
That's it! Everything else you need has been installed for you.
If the install script fails for any reason, we have a few alternatives.
Manual Install
Use your preferred package manager, or download a macOS installer.
brew install symopsio/tap/sym
pipx install sym-cli
pip install --user sym-cli
$ curl -LO https://github.com/symopsio/sym-cli-releases/releases/latest/download/sym-cli-darwin-x64.pkg
$ sudo installer -pkg sym-cli-darwin-x64.pkg -target /
$ curl -LO https://github.com/symopsio/sym-cli-releases/releases/latest/download/sym-cli-linux-x64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i sym-cli-linux-x64.deb
AWS CLI and Session Manager Plugin
Using SSH with the CLI requires that you have both the AWS CLI and the AWS Session Manager CLI Plugin installed and on your path. Sym uses Session Manager to securely connect to EC2 instances in your environment.
If you install
symmanually, you will also have to install these tools.
To install the Session Manager Plugin on ArchLinux, you can use
rpm2archiveto pull out the session-manager-plugin binary and add it to your path.
