# asrtd CLI

## Prerequisites

The asserted CLI requires at least Node v10. Check which version of Node you have installed with:

```bash
node -v
```

If you do not have Node installed, or have the wrong version, we recommend installing Node using one of the following:

* Mac / Linux - [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)
* Windows - [nvm-windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows)

## Installation

Use NPM to globally install the asserted CLI:

```
npm i -g asrtd
```

## Commands

At any time you can run the following to get a full breakdown of all CLI commands:

```bash
asrtd --help
```

The best source for information on how to run commands in the CLI, is the CLI itself by running `asrtd --help` or adding `--help` to any individual command for more details.
