Gort (http://gort.io) is a Command Line Toolkit for RobotOps. Gort provides tools to scan for connected devices, upload firmware, and more.
Gort is written in the Go programming language (http://golang.org) for maximum speed and portability.
Want to use Golang to program your robots? Check out our open source robotics framework Gobot (http://gobot.io).
Want to use Javascript on Robots? Check out Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com)
Want to use Ruby on robots? Check out Artoo (http://artoo.io)
We now have precompiled binaries! You can also build from source.
The Gort CLI provides many useful features on many hardware platforms, and has no other dependencies. You install Gort separately from any framework, which means you can use it to program Arduinos with the Firmata firmware also compatible with Cylon.js, Gobot, Artoo, & Johnny-Five.
Just want to download a binary for OSX, Windows, and Linux? Go to our web site at http://gort.io/documentation/getting_started/downloads/ for the latest release.
Using Homebrew on OSX? You can install using:
brew install hybridgroup/tools/gort
$ ./gort

You need to have installed go-bindata to build the file assets into Gort for a single standalone executable:
go get github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
Once installed, you build the assets into the project like this:
cd commands && go-bindata -pkg="commands" support/... && cd ..
You need to have goxc installed in order to cross compile Gort:
go get github.com/laher/goxc
Once installed, you can build the binary with
make release
Compiled binaries will now be placed in build/<VERSION>/
You will probably need to set
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin in order to run the build.
