Nova CLI

The swiss army knife for interacting with Wandelbots NOVA.

Install

MacOS/Linux

Installation with homebrew:

brew install wandelbotsgmbh/wandelbots/nova

# enable autocompletion for zsh (has to be done only once)
echo 'source <(nova completion zsh)' >> ~/.zshrc

Note Our binaries are not signed yet, thus MacOS will block the first execution. To fix this, go to Settings -> Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway

Other Platforms
