Installation of the Nextmv Platform

A tutorial for installing components of the Nextmv Platform.

Please find the following sections for installing Nextmv Platform components:

Nextmv is available for macOS, Linux and Windows.

If you have any questions, please contact support.

Nextmv CLI

The Nextmv CLI is a command line interface that lets you easily interact with the other components of the Nextmv Platform.

Export your Nextmv API key as an environment variable:

export NEXTMV_API_KEY="<YOUR-API-KEY>"
Copy

Run the following script to install Nextmv CLI:

export NEXTMV_BASE_URL=https://api.cloud.nextmv.io
curl -sS "https://cloud.nextmv.io/install-cli.txt" | bash -
Copy

If you are using a Windows machine, use a PowerShell terminal to run the installation script. Preferably, use one with administrative privileges to allow automatically setting the environment variables.

After downloading and installing, the last step is to configure Nextmv CLI with your account:

nextmv configure --api-key $NEXTMV_API_KEY
Copy

To display more information about a command, use help or the --help, -h flags.
