The Meroxa CLI is now easier to install via Scoop on Windows, shortening the time needed for installation and updates.

With an increase in users installing Meroxa CLI on Windows, we sought to improve the experience by adding the ability for the users to install the CLI via Scoop. Previously, Meroxa CLI installations on Windows machines required manually downloading the binary zip file from our releases page, unzipping it, and running the binary file from their PowerShell. This was required for each of the newly published CLI releases.

To improve and shorten the installation time, the team added support for Scoop.

To start taking advantage of this, you'll need to install Scoop, and then run the following commands to install the Meroxa CLI:

scoop bucket add meroxa https://github.com/meroxa/scoop-manifests && scoop install meroxa

Updating the Meroxa CLI to latest version is now easier as well through Scoop:

scoop status && scoop update meroxa
