Initial Setup
Confix can be installed in two different ways: globally on your machine, or bound to a specific project. Below are the instructions for both methods of installation.
Reach out to us if this is not a option for you. Confix could also be distributed through a package manager like brew or be downloaded as a binary. We are open to suggestions.
Prerequisites
- Ensure you have the .NET SDK (opens in a new tab) (version 7.0 or later) installed on your machine.
Global Installation
To install Confix globally on your machine, execute the following command in your terminal:
dotnet tool install --global ConfixThis will make Confix available globally on your machine, allowing you to use it in any project.
Project-Specific Installation
If you prefer to bind Confix to a specific project, you'll need to leverage the tool manifest provided by .NET Core. Here's how you do it:
- Navigate to your project directory in the terminal.
- Run the following command to create a tool manifest file if you don't have one already:
dotnet new tool-manifest- Now, install Confix in your project using the following command:
dotnet tool install ConfixBy following the above steps, Confix will be installed in your project, and its scope will be limited to the current project directory.
