This module is always installed on your premises

The CLI module is installed as a single executable binary on the developer’s PC, or on any server running Windows, Linux or macOS

Do not double clic on the executable, you have to run it in a shell.

Network flows

Depending on the Server Architecture, you have to make sure to open network flows (HTTP/S ports 80/443) to the Power Test Bench Server (if on-premises) or to the Core Server.

An HTTP proxy (e.g. Squid) can be configured if your network requires one. In that case you will have to provide the credentials (host, port, user, password). The CLI is not compatible with automatic configuration files (PAC).

Compatibility :

Windows (32 or 64 bit), Linux (32 or 64 bit), macOS

macOS

The default version of the CLI needs macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later. If your macOS version is previous 10.13, don't worry, we can provide you with a compatible version, please contact us.
