Kitura command-line interface

This Swift package provides a kitura command-line interface, to simplify the process of creating Kitura applications.

(Note: this Swift version is still an early work-in-progress. Please check again in a bit for more features)

Installation on macOS (via Homebrew)

Kitura's CLI may be installed using Homebrew:

$ brew tap kitura/kitura
$ brew install kitura

Installation (simple)

You can install (either on Mac or Linux) with this one-liner:

$ curl -fsSL https://github.com/Kitura/kitura-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sudo bash

The kitura binary will be placed in your /usr/local/bin directory.

Installation (manual)
