Docker

Installation

Build this image

docker build -t larowlan/tl .

NOTE: Until we have builds on the Docker Hub.

Bash alias

The following will make your tl cli command appear like it's running native, but it's not! it's running in a container!

Add the following to your ~/.bashrc file.

alias tl='docker run -v $HOME:/root -it --rm larowlan/tl'

Run

You can now follow the same steps as above for installation.

eg.

tl install
