rain.cli

The Rain CLI.

Aggregates and compiles all the other Rain CLI tools into a single tool.

Doesn't provide any of its own functionality.

Installation

Nix flakes

If you have https://nixos.org/ installed and nix flakes enabled https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes then you can run the Rain CLI straight from github.

nix shell github:rainprotocol/rain.cli -c rain

This will track the default branch (main) and can be aliased e.g.

alias rain="nix shell github:rainprotocol/rain.cli -c rain"

If you add this alias to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file, etc. then you'll always have fresh rain.

You can also pin it to any git revision like

nix shell github:rainprotocol/rain.cli/<revision> -c rain

Alternatively you can install it to your profile and nix can manage it like any other binary.

nix profile install github:rainprotocol/rain.cli

Cargo

Rain CLI is written in Rust so can be installed with cargo like any other Rust binary.

From this repo at any commit

cargo install --path .

From crates.io

cargo install rain_cli

This approach will compile and save the rain binary at ~/.cargo/bin which means:

• You need to make sure that ~/.cargo/bin is on your $PATH
• You are responsible for tracking versions and/or uninstalling via cargo ongoing
