Installation

Hurray you passed the registration! To start using Lyrid Platform, first you need to download our command line tool, the LC.

tip

Make sure you have registered a Lyrid Account and have your access and secret key handy before proceeding to download our client. Guide to register.


Download Lyrid Client

The Lyrid Client executable is readily made for Windows, Linux, and Mac.


Install Lyrid Client

Once downloaded - run the file. Viola! The Lyrid Client is now installed!

But how is the Lyrid Client used? That will be explained next.

tip

To make many of the operations easier, after the binary downloaded, move the lc binary into your one of your $PATH directory so that it can be used by the system on any folder.

Installation on Mac

  1. Download the Lyrid Client from the link above.

  2. Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where the lc file is located.

  3. Run the following command to make the lc file executable:

    chmod -R 755 lc

    If you see an error like zsh: permission denied: ./lc, this command will resolve it.

  4. Add lc to your $PATH so that it can be accessed globally. Open the ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc file (depending on your shell) and add the following line:

    export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/lc"

    Replace /path/to/lc with the actual path where the lc file is located.

  5. Reload your shell configuration by running:

    source ~/.zshrc

    or

    source ~/.bashrc
  6. Verify the installation by running:

    lc --version

    This should display the version of the Lyrid Client installed, confirming that it's set up correctly.
