Installing the Presence CLI tools

The CLI tools are available as binaries attached to each release and available through Homebrew on Mac OS and Linux. Either:

1. Tap and install presence-cli through Homebrew, or
2. Download the binaries directly, and put them in your path

Option 1: Install with Homebrew

• If you haven’t already, install Homebrew

• Tap instantiator/presence

  brew tap instantiator/presence
  

• Install the presence-cli formula

  brew install instantiator/presence/presence-cli
  

• Test each binary has installed successfully

  Presence.SocialFormat.Console --version
  Presence.Posting.Console --version
  

The homebrew formula will install standalone binaries that do not have a dependency on the .NET 8 runtime.

Option 2: Download binaries directly

Download and extract the appropriate binary for your system.

• Visit: latest release
• Download the Presence.zip - containing all binaries
• Unzip and locate your binaries
• Place those binaries in your path, or in the directory you wish to use them from

Choosing a binary

Pick a binary for your operating system.

NB. Each binary comes in 2 versions:

• Dependent: Smaller binary, requires an installation of the .NET 8 runtime
• Self-contained: Larger, has no dependency on .NET 8

Debugging information

If you encounter any unexpected behaviour while using the tools, please report this by creating an issue.

The .pdb and .xml files present contain debugging information which will generate helpful stack traces should the application fail when using it. Provided these are found in the same directory as the binary they’re related to, you should be able to generate some additional, helpful information to add to your report.
