#8 Proposal: create common distribution formats Issue created by mefellows It would be great to be able to install Pact CLI tool(s) using common packaging and distribution formats, e.g. •

gem install pact

• For MacOSXX

brew install pact

• For Linux / Other

curl -sSL <https://get.pact.io> | bash -s

style install (e.g. for RVM

curl -sSL <https://get.rvm.io> | bash -s stable --ruby

) • For Windows a Nuget package installed like

chocolatey install pact

or

Install-package <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pact-standalone/releases/pact-1.0.0.config>

• Potentially others (RPM, Deb etc.) I would also propose that we only have 3 CLI tools: verifier, mock-service and the pact tool (containing broker commands, stubs etc.). The first two are for use by library implementations, where the latter could be installed by any user of Pact. I see this as being like a

travis

command, where it is used for other useful stuff - e.g. bootstrapping projects. Thoughts? pact-foundation/pact-standalone
