Building from Source

In order to successfully build the CLI, your system will require the following:

• The make command
• python3
• pip3 (to install project dependencies)

Before attempting a build, install python dependencies like this::

make requirements

Once everything is set up, you can initiate a build like so::

make build

If desired, you may pass in SPEC=/path/to/openapi-spec when running build or install. This can be a URL or a path to a local spec, and that spec will be used when generating the CLI. A yaml or json file is accepted.

To install the package as part of the build process, use this command::

make install
