The section.io CLI is sensitive to where you clone specific repos, so following these steps will ensure a smooth set up.

Please follow these steps in order and down to the exact specifics.

Set up process

  1. Navigate your terminal or command prompt to your Documents directory
    • Windows: cd C:\Users<user name here>\Documents
    • Mac: cd ~/Documents/
  2. Make a directory within your “Documents” directory called “section” • Universal: mkdir section
  3. Make sure you have the latest version of “git”
    • Windows: Make sure you have “git credential-manager” up-to-date.
  4. Run the command: git clone https://github.com/section-io/section.cli.git
  5. Run the command: cd section.cli
  6. Get the path of the directory
    • Windows: echo %cd%
    • Mac: pwd
  7. Copy and paste the output and ensure it’s exported to your system “Paths”
  8. Make sure you have the latest version of Virtual Box: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/
    Downloads
  9. In your Aperture portal, locate the “Developer PoP” in the left hand nav under “Set up”

  11. Change your directory in your terminal or command prompt to the “section” directory within
    your “Documents” directory that contains the “section.cli” repository.
  12. Important: You must run the “section up ” within the “section” directory alongside the “section.cli” repository.
  13. You should see the following messages if set up correctly:
