Getting Started

Downloading the pre-built binary

These instructions are for a Linux based system. We tested on Ubuntu 22.04.

mkdir -p $HOME/bin
curl -L https://github.com/dfinity/dre/releases/latest/download/dre -o $HOME/bin/dre
chmod +x $HOME/bin/dre

Make sure that $HOME/bin is added to your path. If it's not, you might get an error such as:

❯ dre
Command 'dre' not found, did you mean:
[...]

To fix this issue, you can run

export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

And you can also add this to your $HOME/.bashrc file (or the one appropriate for your shell).
