Report issues

Issues are tracked on the main Eclipse Che® Repository: https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues

Installation

There are two channels of chectl: stable and next

Stable is for all tagged versions of Eclipse Che®. Next is updated after each commit/Pull Request being merged in main branch of the Chectl repository.

If you're using Windows x64, here is how to install chectl by using one single PowerShell command:

For stable channel:

C:\Users> Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://che-incubator.github.io/chectl/install.ps1'))

For next channel:

C:\Users> $CHANNEL="next"; Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://che-incubator.github.io/chectl/install.ps1'))

If you're using linux or macOS, here is how to install chectl by using one single command:

For stable channel:

$ bash <(curl -sL  https://che-incubator.github.io/chectl/install.sh)

For next channel:

$ bash <(curl -sL  https://che-incubator.github.io/chectl/install.sh) --channel=next

Manual install:

Unpack the assembly
Move chectl folder into a folder like $HOME/chectl
Add alias alias chectl=$HOME/chectl/bin/run

Updating
