Linux

Option 1: install from .deb package:

To install from a .deb package, open file from file explorer of your choice or run in command line:

sudo dpkg --install ./cardano-hw-cli_<VERSION>.deb

This will create necessary files under /user/share/cardano-hw-cli/ and create soft link under /usr/bin/, so cardano-hw-cli command is callable in command line from everywhere.

If you wish to uninstall cardano-hw-cli, run:

sudo dpkg --remove cardano-hw-cli

Option 2: decompress .tar.gz archive:

if .deb package is not working for some reason, you can decompress the .tar.gz archive and create a soft link to cardano-hw-cli manually:

decompress:

tar -zxvf cardano-hw-cli-<VERSION>.tar.gz

Create soft link:

sudo ln -s /<PATH_TO_DIRECTORY> /usr/bin

or add to PATH. Edit ~/.bashrc:

vim ~/.bashrc

add path to the end of file on new line:

export PATH=<PATH_TO_DIRECTORY>

Mac

decompress the .tar.gz archive by double clicking archive in finder or decompress in command line:

tar -zxvf cardano-hw-cli-<VERSION>.tar.gz

Add to PATH:

sudo vim /etc/paths

add to the end of file on new line: <PATH_TO_DIRECTORY>

Windows

Unzip cardano-hw-cli-<VERSION>.zip and add directory location to your PATH.
