To install the wave CLI for your platform, complete the following steps:

  1. Download the latest version of the Wave CLI for your platform.

  2. In a new terminal, complete the following steps:

    1. Move the executable from your downloads folder to a location in your PATH, such as ~/bin. For example: mv wave-cli-0.8.0-macos-x86_64 ~/bin/wave
    2. Ensure that the executable bit is set. For example: chmod u+x ~/bin/wave

  3. Verify that you can build containers with Wave:

    1. Create a basic Dockerfile:

      cat << EOF > ./Dockerfile
      FROM busybox:latest
      EOF

    2. Use the CLI to build the container:

      wave -f Dockerfile
