To set up mokucli symbolic link on a Linux system:
- Download the latest mokucli package from the Utilities page.
- Once the download is complete, get the path for mokucli. Using your terminal, navigate to the inside of the extracted downloads folder. You should see mokucli listed. Type “pwd” in your terminal once inside of the extracted folder to get the path. Make sure your path includes “mokucli” at the end.
Create a symbolic link so that you can run mokucli from anywhere. Type the following command in your terminal:
sudo ln -s /absolute/path/to/mokucli /usr/local/bin
NOTE: Replace "/absolute/path/to/mokucli" with your path from Step 2.
- Test to see if mokucli was correctly setup. Type “mokucli --version” to see if it worked. It should return “mokucli x.x.x” with the correct version numbers.
