Binary install

Install command launcher with pre-built binaries

Download pre-built binaries #

Pre-built binaries can be downloaded from the Github release page. Copy the binary into your PATH.

The default pre-built binary is named cola (Command Launcher), if you want to use a different name, you can build your own binaries from source. See build from source.

For example, in each release, we also build a binary named cdt (Criteo Dev Toolkit). If you prefer to download cdt, please replace cola to cdt in the examples from the documents.

Setup auto-completion #

Command launcher will automatically handle auto completion for all sub commands. You need to setup it once:

Bash #

$ source <(cola completion bash)

# To load completions for each session, execute once:
# Linux:
$ cola completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/cola
# macOS:
$ cola completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/cola

Zsh #

# If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment,
# you will need to enable it.  You can execute the following once:

$ echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc

# To load completions for each session, execute once:
$ cola completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_cola"

# You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.

Powershell #

PS> cola completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

# To load completions for every new session, run:
PS> cola completion powershell > cola.ps1
# and source this file from your PowerShell profile.

Fish #

$ cola completion fish | source

# To load completions for each session, execute once:
$ cola completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/cola.fish

Uninstall #

Simply delete the binary.
