Verify the Download

Verify the binary works:

./bin/drasi-sse-cli --version

You should see output showing the version number. The exact version depends on which release you have installed, so the number below is only an example. The latest release is always available from the Drasi Server releases page.

drasi-sse-cli 0.1.0

Option 2: Build from Source

The drasi-sse-cli lives in the examples/sse-cli folder of the Drasi Server repository. Building it requires the same prerequisites as building Drasi Server itself.

Clone the repository (if you haven’t already):

git clone https://github.com/drasi-project/drasi-server.git
cd drasi-server

Build and install the SSE CLI into a local ./bin directory:

cargo install --path examples/sse-cli --root . --locked

The --root . flag tells Cargo to place the compiled drasi-sse-cli binary in the ./bin directory.

Verify the Build

./bin/drasi-sse-cli --version

You should see output showing the version number, for example:

drasi-sse-cli 0.1.0
