Once you have access to a C3 cluster, you can download the C3 command line tool. This tool is a node.js package.

Windows (Coming soon)

1. Download the cli package from the url: https://<vanity_url>/static/nodejs-apps/cli/cli.tar.gz  Replace <vanity_url> with the location of your cluster.
2. Unpack the cli.tar.gz package. 7-zip is a free and open source GUI-based program that can handle tarballs on Windows (after installing you may have to right-click the filename in Windows Explorer and choose "open with... 7-zip" rather than just double-click opening it directly).

Mac OS and Linux

1. Download the cli package from the url: https://<vanity_url>/static/nodejs-apps/cli/cli.tar.gz  Replace <vanity_url> with the location of your cluster.
2. Unpack the cli.tar.gz package
3. Run `./c3 install`. This script tries to find an appropriate package manager, install necessary dependencies, and install the c3 command to a sensible location (On linux this is /usr/local/bin)

For Linux Users specifically

The c3 script is currently only written to work with several major package managers including rpm, apt-get, and pkg. This will work for most folks, however some distributions aren't using these package managers (Arch for example uses pacman). These users will have to modify the c3 script to accept pacman as well. Please email help@c3dti.ai if you need additional help getting this command line tool installed.
