Secretify CLI

Installing Secretify CLI on Linux

Step 1: Download Secretify binary with curl

Download the latest release of Secretify for Linux using the following command:

curl -LO "https://www.secretify.io/release/bin/linux/amd64/secretify"

Step 2: Validate the binary (optional)

Download the secretify checksum file:

curl -LO "https://www.secretify.io/release/bin/linux/amd64/secretify.sha256"

Validate the secretify binary against the checksum file:

echo "$(cat secretify.sha256) secretify" | sha256sum --check

If valid, the output is:

secretify: OK

If the check fails, sha256 exits with nonzero status and prints output similar to:

secretify: FAILED
sha256sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match

Step 3: Install secretify

To install Secretify system-wide, use the following command:

sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 secretify /usr/local/bin/secretify

If you do not have root access on the target system, you can still install secretify to the ~/.local/bin directory:

chmod +x secretify
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mv ./secretify ~/.local/bin/secretify
# and then append (or prepend) ~/.local/bin to $PATH

Step 4: Test Secretify installation

After installation, verify that Secretify is installed correctly by running:

secretify version

This command should output the version of Secretify installed.
