Installing the ZLI

BastionZero's command line interface for connecting to your targets

The BastionZero product is maintained for existing BastionZero customers only.

Moving forward, we are natively rebuilding BastionZero’s technology as Cloudflare’s Access for Infrastructure service.

BastionZero's command-line interface (CLI), the Zero-Trust Command Line Interface (zli), is available on Mac, Linux, and Windows machines.

You can download the zli through package managers (brew, yum, and apt) or with curl for Windows machines.

The zli is compatible with both x86 and amd64 platforms.

Install the zli with the command below:
```
brew install bastionzero/tap/zli
```

You may have an outdated formula. Try a brew update followed by a brew upgrade zli.

Install the BastionZero public key from the Ubuntu key server.

curl -sSL "https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xe5c358e613982017" | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/bastionzero.gpg > /dev/null

Add the BastionZero repo with:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/bastionzero.gpg] https://download-apt.bastionzero.com/production/apt-repo stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bastionzero.list > /dev/null

Update the apt cache.
```
sudo apt update
```
Install the zli.
```
sudo apt install -y zli
```

Download the zli.

curl.exe -LO "https://download-zli.bastionzero.com/release/latest/bin/zli.exe"

Append the zli binary folder to your PATH environment variable. Note, the following example will make the zli commands permanently available to the current user only.
```
setx PATH "%PATH%;<path to folder containing zli>"
```
Exit out of your terminal window and reopen a new one.
Log in to the zli.
```
zli login
```
