Using the Docker Image

On a Linux machine, you can run:

docker run --rm ppiper/cm-client cmclient --help

This prints the help information of the CM Client. For a comprehensive overview of available commands, please read the usage information below.

How to Build the Docker Image

The Dockerfile is located in a designated branch dockerfile. After checking out the branch, you can run: docker build -t cm-client .

Using the Java Application from maven.org

• Download the command line interface package from maven.org.

• Extract the command line interface package into a suitable folder.

  Example:

     CM_VERSION=2.0.1
     export CMCLIENT_HOME=`pwd`/cm_client
     export PATH=${CMCLIENT_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
     mkdir -p ${CMCLIENT_HOME}
     curl "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sap/devops/cmclient/dist.cli/${CM_VERSION}/dist.cli-${CM_VERSION}.tar.gz"  \
     |tar -C ${CMCLIENT_HOME} -xvf -
     cmclient --version
     cmclient --help
  

It is recommanded to define CMCLIENT_HOME and PATH in ~/.bash_profile or in any other suitable way.
