ENC CLI Installation

The ENC Client (enc-cli) allows you to connect to an ENC server, manage projects, and run secure executions from your local machine.

Prerequisites

Before installing, ensure you have:

  • Python 3.8+: Verify with python3 --version.

  • pip: The Python package installer.

  • sshfs: Required for the mounting feature.

    Note

    If mounting fails or sshfs is missing, please reinstall it manually: brew install --cask macfuse && brew install sshfs

Installation Steps

The recommended way to install ENC Client is via pip:

pip install enc-cli

After installing, run the setup wizard to handle dependencies and path configuration:

enc install

This command will: * Check for sshfs and install it if missing (requires sudo). * Ensure the enc executable is in your PATH. * Prompt you to initialize your configuration.

  1. Verify Installation:

    enc --version

Configuration

Once installed, you must configure the CLI to point to your server.

  1. Run the initialization command:

    enc config init

  2. Follow the prompts: * Server URL: Enter the full URL (e.g., http://your-server.com:2222). * Username: Your assigned username. * SSH Key Path: Leaving this blank is fine! You can run enc setup ssh-key later to auto-generate one.

You can check your configuration at any time with:

enc show
