Install

gobankcli is a local, self-contained binary: no daemon, cloud service, browser extension, or background process is installed.

#Homebrew

Install the current published release with Homebrew:

brew install BramVR/tap/gobankcli
gobankcli --version

The formula lives in BramVR/homebrew-tap.

Upgrade with:

brew update
brew upgrade BramVR/tap/gobankcli

Build from source when testing an unreleased branch or local change.

#Source Build Requirements

• Go toolchain available on your machine.
• Git access to the public source repository.
• A terminal where ~/.local/bin or another user binary directory can be added to PATH.

#Build From Source

git clone https://github.com/BramVR/goBankCli.git
cd goBankCli
make build
./bin/gobankcli --help

The build writes ./bin/gobankcli.

#Install For Your User

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
install -m 755 ./bin/gobankcli ~/.local/bin/gobankcli
gobankcli --help

If gobankcli is not found, add ~/.local/bin to your PATH in your shell profile.

#Run Without Installing

go run ./cmd/gobankcli --help

This is useful for local development or trying a branch before installing the binary.

#First Command

After installation, initialize local paths and inspect the setup:

gobankcli init
gobankcli doctor

init creates local config, database, and export directories. It does not store provider secrets in the config file. doctor reports whether paths exist and whether provider credential environment variables are present.
