Installing and configuring the rhoas CLI

Important

The rhoas command-line interface (CLI) is currently available for Development Preview. Development Preview releases provide early access to a limited set of features that might not be fully tested and that might change in the final GA version. Users should not use Development Preview software in production or for business-critical workloads. Limited documentation is available for Development Preview releases and is typically focused on fundamental user goals.

With the rhoas command-line interface (CLI), you can manage your application services from a terminal.

This guide describes how to set up rhoas by doing the following:

• Install rhoas on your operating system

• Configure rhoas to enable command completion

• Log in to rhoas

• Log out of rhoas
