Install

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

#Homebrew

After the first GitHub release and Homebrew tap update, install with:

brew install BramVR/tap/gobankcli
gobankcli --version

Upgrade with:

brew update
brew upgrade BramVR/tap/gobankcli

Until the first release is authorized and published, build from source.

#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.
