Go version of the Iron.io command line tools.

curl -sSL https://cli.iron.io/install | sh

If you're concerned about the potential insecurity of using curl | sh, feel free to use a two-step version of our installation and examine our installation script:

curl -f -sSL https://cli.iron.io/install -O
sh install

We'd like to explain why we're telling you to curl | sh to install this software. The script at https://cli.iron.io/install has some relatively simple logic to download the right ironcli binary for your platform. When you run that script by piping the curl output into sh, you're trusting us that it's safe and won't harm your computer. We hope that you do! But if you don't please see the section just below this one on how to download and run the binary yourself without an install script.

Before you can use IronWorker, be sure you've created a free account with Iron.io and setup your Iron.io credentials on your system (either in a json file or using ENV variables). You only need to do that once for your machine. If you've done that, then you can continue.

See the official docs for more detailed info on using Docker for IronWorker.

The easiest way to get started is by digging around.

Since go1.5, we are lab rats in the go1.5 vendoring experiment. This eliminates the need to modify import paths and depend on package maintainers not to break things. For more info, see: https://golang.org/s/go15vendor.

Just export GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 in your shell env however you like, and then go build.

Grab the latest version for your system on the Releases page.

You can either run the binary directly or add somewhere in your $PATH.

If you have Docker installed, then you don't need to install anything else to use this. All the commands are the same, but instead of starting the command with iron, change it to:

docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/app -w /app iron/cli ...

If you're using the Docker image, you either need to have your iron.json file in the local directory (it won't pick it up from $HOME), or set your Iron credentials in environment variables:

export IRON_TOKEN=YOURTOKEN
export IRON_PROJECT_ID=YOURPROJECT_ID

And then use -e flags with the docker run command:

docker run --rm -it -e IRON_TOKEN -e IRON_PROJECT_ID -v "$PWD":/app -w /app iron/cli ...
