Install Scalingo CLI

We provide a command line interface (CLI) tool to interact with the platform. This page describes how to install Scalingo CLI tool.

Supported Operating Systems

• Linux
• MacOS
• Windows
• FreeBSD
• OpenBSD

For each of these operating systems, you can download a precompiled binary.

Scalingo does not require any external dependency. The precompiled binary works out of the box.

Installation

Linux & MacOS

You need to download the binary and put it in your PATH. The easiest way is to copy/paste the command below in your terminal and execute it.

curl -O https://cli-dl.scalingo.com/install && bash install

Windows

We highly recommend to use git-bash to have an all-in-one deployment environment.

Then, you need to download Scalingo command-line tool:

• Windows 64 bits users
• Windows 32 bits users

Place the scalingo.exe file in the path you want, e.g. “C:/Program Files”.

From git-bash add this path to your PATH environment variable:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files/

Now you should be able to run scalingo.exe from git-bash.

Note that you set PATH for this specific git-bash instance and that you should add the command line above to a .bashrc file at the root of your HOME:

$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files/" >> $HOME/.bashrc

Now scalingo.exe will be available from git-bash for your next sessions.

Command Completion

Bash

• Make sure bash completion is installed. If you use a current Linux in a non-minimal installation, bash completion should be available. On macOS, install with brew install bash-completion

• Get bash completion script in the directory:
  • Linux users /etc/bash_completion.d/:

    sudo curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Scalingo/cli/master/cmd/autocomplete/scripts/scalingo_complete.bash" -o /etc/bash_completion.d/scalingo_complete.sh
  

  • macOS users /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/:

    sudo curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Scalingo/cli/master/cmd/autocomplete/scripts/scalingo_complete.bash" -o /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/scalingo_complete.sh
  

• Reload your shell in order to make the completion available:

  exec bash -l
  

Zsh

• Create a directory ~/.zsh/completion/ :

  mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion
  

• Get Zsh completion script in the directory ~/.zsh/completion/ :

  curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Scalingo/cli/master/cmd/autocomplete/scripts/scalingo_complete.zsh" > ~/.zsh/completion/scalingo_complete.zsh
  

• Make sure the completion script will be loaded, by adding to the following line to your ~/.zshrc :

  source ~/.zsh/completion/scalingo_complete.zsh
  

• Reload your shell:

  exec zsh -l
  

Network Requirements

Scalingo CLI communicates with a few servers on Scalingo. You may be in an environment, behind a proxy, and need to whitelist the hostname and ports it communicates with. Here is the list. Each item is <HOSTNAME>:<PORT>. HOSTNAME contains the <REGION NAME> placeholder. It must be replaced with the Scalingo region you need to communicate with (e.g. osc-fr1).

• auth.scalingo.com:443
• api.<REGION NAME>.scalingo.com:443
• ssh.<REGION NAME>.scalingo.com:22
• one-off.<REGION NAME>.scalingo.com:5000

The port 443 will receive HTTPS stream. The port 22 is for SSH. And the port 5000 will receive pure TCP stream. It is used for one-off containers.
