## Usage Documentation
## Documentation
Usage documentation exists for each major version. Don't know what version you're on? You're probably using the version from the `main` branch, which is currently `v2`.
More documentation is available in [`./docs`](./docs) or the hosted
Using this package requires a working Go environment. [See the install instructions for Go](http://golang.org/doc/install.html).
Go Modules are required when using this package. [See the go blog guide on using Go Modules](https://blog.golang.org/using-go-modules).
### Using `v2` releases
```
$ 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"
)
...
```
### Build tags
You can use the following build tags:
#### `urfave_cli_no_docs`
When set, this removes `ToMarkdown` and `ToMan` methods, so your application
won't be able to call those. This reduces the resulting binary size by about
300-400 KB (measured using Go 1.18.1 on Linux/amd64), due to fewer dependencies.
### 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. This project uses Github Actions for
builds. To see our currently supported go versions and platforms, look at the [./.github/workflows/cli.yml](https://github.com/urfave/cli/blob/main/.github/workflows/cli.yml).
