cli is a simple, fast, and fun package for building command line apps in Go. The
goal is to enable developers to write fast and distributable command line
applications in an expressive way.
## Usage Documentation
Usage documentation exists for each major version. Don't know what version you're on? You're probably using the version from the `master` branch, which is currently `v2` .
- `v2` - [./docs/v2/manual.md ](./docs/v2/manual.md )
- `v1` - [./docs/v1/manual.md ](./docs/v1/manual.md )
### Using `v2` releases
**Warning**: `v2` is in a beta state.
```
$ go get github.com/urfave/cli/v2
```
```go
...
import (
"github.com/urfave/cli/v2" // imports as package "cli"
)
...
```
### Using `v1` releases
```
$ go get github.com/urfave/cli
```
```go
...
import (
"github.com/urfave/cli"
)
...
```
## Installation
Make sure you have a working Go environment. Go version 1.10+ is supported. [See
the install instructions for Go](http://golang.org/doc/install.html).
### GOPATH
Make sure your `PATH` includes the `$GOPATH/bin` directory so your commands can
be easily used:
```
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
```
### Supported platforms
cli is tested against multiple versions of Go on Linux, and against the latest
released version of Go on OS X and Windows. For full details, see
[`./.travis.yml` ](./.travis.yml ) and [`./appveyor.yml` ](./appveyor.yml ).
