You can install the State Tool command line interface (CLI) on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
You can install the State Tool .exe directly, or run the following command in your terminal
powershell -Command "& $([scriptblock]::Create((New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://platform.activestate.com/dl/cli/install.ps1')))"
You may be prompted to allow the State Tool executable access to your system before the installation can be completed. Once installed, we recommend closing and re-opening your command prompt to ensure your environment is properly updated.
Note that while our install process uses PowerShell under the hood, the State Tool does not yet officially support PowerShell (though it has been known to work for various PowerShell use cases).
When installing on an M-series Mac, ensure that you have Rosetta installed. For more information on how to install Rosetta, see this Apple support article.
Open your command prompt and execute the following command
sh <(curl -q https://platform.activestate.com/dl/cli/w19880m01/install.sh)
Once installed, we recommend closing and re-opening your command prompt to ensure your environment is properly updated.
To install the most recent version of the State Tool, open a command terminal and enter
