## About

# Installing flowcmd

The `flowcmd` binary ships with official install scripts in the upstream repo.

## 1. Detect whether it's already installed

```bash
command -v flowcmd >/dev/null && flowcmd --version
```

If this prints a version, you're done — tell the user and stop.

## 2. Install (macOS / Linux)

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flowcmd/cli/main/install.sh | sh
```

The script:

- Detects the OS and architecture
- Downloads the matching release archive from GitHub Releases
- Installs the binary to `/usr/local/bin/flowcmd` (or `~/.local/bin/flowcmd` when `/usr/local/bin` is not writable)
- Prints the final path

If the user prefers a manual install, they can grab a binary from  and put it on their PATH.

## 3. Install (Windows PowerShell)

```powershell
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flowcmd/cli/main/install.ps1 | iex
```

## 4. Pin a specific version

Either script accepts `FLOWCMD_VERSION`:

```bash
FLOWCMD_VERSION=v0.1.0 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flowcmd/cli/main/install.sh | sh
```

## 5. Verify

```bash
flowcmd --version
flowcmd init        # creates ./.flowcmd/hello.yml
flowcmd run hello   # runs it
```

## 6. If you're a developer working inside the flowcmd monorepo

```bash
cd cli && make build   # produces bin/flowcmd
export PATH="$PWD/bin:$PATH"
```

## Notes for the agent

- Never run the install command in a way that would overwrite a newer version silently — check `flowcmd --version` first and tell the user what's installed before proposing an upgrade.
- `curl | sh` from an untrusted network is sensitive; if the user is on a locked-down machine, suggest the manual release-download path instead.
- The `flowcmd update` subcommand (on versions that support it) re-invokes the install script for the user — prefer that over re-curling when they already have flowcmd.
