Installation

CACE currently supports two primary methods of installation for it and its dependencies.

Please read the installation instruction in the documentation under "Installation Overview".

Nix (Recommended)

Works for macOS and Linux (x86-64 and aarch64) as well for Windows via WSL2. Recommended, as it is more integrated with your filesystem and overall has less upload and download deltas.

See Nix-based installation in the docs for more info.

Python-only Installation

You'll need to bring your own compiled utilities, but otherwise, simply install CACE as follows:

	python3 -m pip install --upgrade cace

Usage

To invoke the CLI:

cace [datasheet] [output] [options]

For more information about the usage of CACE please have a look at "Usage Guides" in the documentation.
