Installing the CLI tools and Exporters

Jumpstarter provides two cli tools:

  • jmpctl: a command line tool to manage clients and exporters in the Jumpstarter distributed service.
  • jmp: a command line tool for interacting with Jumpstarter as a client: leasing devices, performing operations on them, etc.

In addition there is a exporter tool:

  • jmp-exporter: This command line tool is used to run exporters in the Jumpstarter, either distributed or local workflow.

Installation details for all those tools can be found here: https://docs.jumpstarter.dev/installation/index.html
