Installation

Warning: See PREP section above if this is your first time installing Bintools.

Cut-and-paste the following one-liner into your bash shell, on your laptop.

u=https://bit.ly/3Kavmy1 f=${HOME}/i.sh && (curl -L $u||wget -O - $u||fetch -o - $u) > $f && chmod 700 $f && $f

Using this repo.

The script above clones the repository under ~/.bintools-dotfiles in your home directory. It's important to keep this location, as other tools and scripts may look to find it there. The bootstrapper script will clone (or pull) the latest version and copy the files to this directory. The installer usually takes 10-15 minutes, and installs all components hands-free. If you have no Git credential helper installed, it will install one on your behalf, asking once or twice for your Github credentials using a pop up browser page. It also asks for your root password exactly once, and will produce an Okta credential popup upon completion, so you can perform your first login.

If the installer has trouble for any reason, you can safely rerun it multiple times. It is idempotent. Just cut and paste one of the commands below. The first commmand installs ONLY the basic rds and ssm tools and the zero-trust login framework. The second link installs Database graphic tools, such as MySQL Bench and DataGrip in addition to the basic tools. Other tools are also available for install. The list is steadily growing! See the addenda notes for a list of packages near the end of this doc for other notable features that can be added to your bintools!

GUI TOOLS <Temporarily unavailable due to a lack of DataGrip an PyCHarm licenses.>
