If everything is running then you are ready to go. Else you can drink coffee one more time.

Step 3

You can go to the release page then you can download the latest cli_1.0.53_linux_amd64.tar.gz (at the current time we have version 1.0.53).

Open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T)
Navigate to the directory where the .tar.gz files are present.
Then run this command to unpack the files

After successfully unpack you can run the Odigos cli from the same directory.

You will get the output like the above.
