## Introduction
FIXME
## Installation
The tool does not have any dependencies. Just download the binary for
your platform from the releases page and you're good to go.
### Installation using a pre-compiled binary
You can use [stew](https://github.com/marwanhawari/stew) to install esctl:
```default
stew install https://codeberg.org/scip/esctl
```
Or go to the [latest release page](https://codeberg.org/scip/esctl/releases/)
and look for your OS and platform. There are two options to install the binary:
Directly download the binary for your platform,
e.g. `esctl-linux-amd64-0.0.2`, rename it to `esctl` (or whatever
you like more!) and put it into your bin dir (e.g. `$HOME/bin` or as
root to `/usr/local/bin`).
Be sure to verify the signature of the binary file. For this also
download the matching `esctl-linux-amd64-0.0.2.sha256` file and:
```shell
cat esctl-linux-amd64-0.0.2.sha25 && sha256sum esctl-linux-amd64-0.0.2
```
You should see the same SHA256 hash.
You may also download a binary tarball for your platform, e.g.
`esctl-linux-amd64-0.0.2.tar.gz`, unpack and install it. GNU Make is
required for this:
```shell
tar xvfz esctl-linux-amd64-0.0.2.tar.gz
cd esctl-linux-amd64-0.0.2
sudo make install
```
### Installation from source
Check out the repository and execute `go build`, then copy the
compiled binary to your `$PATH`.
Or, if you have GNU Make installed, just execute:
```default
make
sudo make install
```
