Installing the CLI Executables
How to install the CLI executables on Linux, Windows, or macOS
To download the CLI executables, visit the CLI section of the downloads page.
You must have a Deque Agora account to download the CLI executables or to access the downloads page.
If you don't have an Agora account, contact your Deque representative directly, ask us via our support desk, or send us an email. We'll be happy to help you out.
On Linux and macOS, you need to set the executable permission on the file. For Linux, type the following:
chmod +x axe-linuxOr, for macOS:
chmod +x axe-macosOn macOS, you also need to delete the quarantine extended attribute, as shown below:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine axe-macosTo test your installation of the axe DevTools CLI, you can open up the command line in the directory where you placed the executable and run:
-
./axe-linux --help(on Linux) -
./axe-macos --help(on macOS) -
axe-win --help(on Windows)
Depending on how your machine account is configured, you may need to use administrator mode.
You can make axe DevTools CLI available globally (from any directory) by placing it in a directory in your system's $PATH.
The CLI documentation assumes you have axe DevTools CLI installed globally and have renamed axe-win.exe, axe-macos, or axe-linux to axe (or axe.exe for Windows).
