## Deis Workflow Client CLI

The Deis command-line interface (CLI), lets you interact with Deis Workflow.
Use the CLI to create and configure and manage applications.

Install the latest `deis` client for Linux or Mac OS X with:

    $ curl -sSL http://deis.io/deis-cli/install-v2.sh | bash

The installer places the `deis` binary in your current directory, but you
should move it somewhere in your $PATH:

    $ ln -fs $PWD/deis /usr/local/bin/deis

Check your work by running `deis version`:

    $ deis version
    2.0.0-betaX

## Helm Classic Installation

We will install Deis Workflow using Helm Classic which is a tool for installing and managing software in a Kubernetes cluster.

Install the latest `helm` cli for Linux or Mac OS X with:

    $ curl -sSL https://get.helm.sh | bash

*or*:

1. Grab a prebuilt binary from:
  - the latest release: [ ![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/deis/helm/helm/images/download.svg) ](https://bintray.com/deis/helm/helm/_latestVersion#files)
  - the CI build pipeline: [ ![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/deis/helm-ci/helm/images/download.svg) ](https://bintray.com/deis/helm-ci/helm/_latestVersion#files)
2. Unzip the package and make sure `helm` is available on the PATH.

Check your work by running `helm version`:

    $ helm version
    helm version 0.6.0+1c8688e

Make sure you are running at least version 0.6.0 or newer.
