This package contains the command line tool set that performs the same actions to provide the user the same capabilities as the Couchbase Server web interface.

If you have installed the full Couchbase Server, these tools will have all prerequisites required to run these tools. If you run these tools standalone, you will need:

• Python 3.3 or greater

• Command shell such as bash

The documentation for this tool set is stored in docs. The source documents, which can be found in docs/modules/cli/pages/cbcli, are written in AsciiDoc and used to produce HTML and man page files.

You can use the generate.sh script to generate standalone HTML and man page versions of these source documents. The list of files to convert is maintained in the script itself. When run, the script writes the generated documents to the generated folder. Under the current workflow, this folder needs to be committed back to the repository for other tools to consume.

The generate.sh script requires the asciidoctor command to be available on your machine (which in turn requires Ruby). Installation of this software is covered in the next section.

To run the unit tests use the following command from the couchbase-cli directory.
