Initialize FlowSynx

Fetch the FlowSynx binaries and install them locally using flowctl init.
Now that you’ve installed the FlowSynx CLI, use the CLI to initialize FlowSynx on your local machine.

Step 1: Open terminal

Linux/MacOS

You will need to use sudo for this quickstart if:

• You run your Docker commands with sudo, or
• The install path is /usr/local/bin (default install path).

Windows

Run Windows Terminal or command prompt as administrator.

• Right click on the Windows Terminal or command prompt icon.
• Select Run as administrator.

Step 2: Run the init CLI command

Install the latest FlowSynx binaries:

flowctl init

After executing this command, FlowSynx starts to be initialized. Sometimes the downloading binary file will be corrupted and you will get this messages:

Validating download - Fail!
The downloaded data may has been corrupted!

In this case please run the flowctl init command again.

Step 3: Verify FlowSynx version

flowctl version

Output:

{
  "FlowCtl": "0.3.3",
  "FlowSynx": "0.3.1.0"
}
