Install pvr

The pvr tool enables you to interact with your Pantavisor-enabled devices both remotely through Pantacor Hub and locally. With this CLI tool, you can clone your device and post different revisions to your device for testing and seamless onboarding, among other operations.

Get pvr Stable

You can download it from the following locations:

• Linux/AMD64
• Linux/ARM32V6
• Linux/ARM64V8
• Darwin/AMD64
• Darwin/ARM64
• Windows/x32
• Windows/x64

Install the pvr Binary

Linux

To install the Linux version you need to extract and place the binary in your $PATH:

tar xvzf pvr-033.linux.amd64.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/bin
cp pvr ~/bin/pvr
chmod +x ~/bin/pvr
export PATH=$PATH:~/bin

Windows

To install the Windows version all you need is unzip the binary and place it in a directory to which your user has access and can run executables from. C:\Users\YOURUSER is usually a good location.

Test pvr

Once you have it installed just calling the pvr command from your shell should show you the help menu, where you can get familiarized with the different features that it provides.

Get Last pvr Version

Note

If you follow this instructions, you will get a non-stable release of pvr, which could mean that you may encounter some bugs.

If you prefer to use the last pvr version instead of using the stable one, you can do the following:

pvr global-config DistributionTag=develop
pvr self-upgrade

The stored binary will automatically upgrade to the last version.

Note

If you find any bug or stability issue while using the develop tag release, you can give us feedback using our community forum.
