Installing

To install elt please download the latest release for your platform from the releases page. Each release file contains a single executable that can be run directly after decompressing.

[!NOTE] Windows defender (and similar programs) may report elt incorrectly as containing a trojan. This is usually a false positive and caused by a known issue with programs made with the Go programming language. Each release is build from scratch inside a fresh Linux container (not Windows!) provided by Github, so it is highly unlikely to be infected. If this happens to you, please exclude the executable from Windows defender (and similar programs) to proceed.

To test the installation run the following:

./elt

This should print the help page.

[!TIP] To make this command available globally place the executable in a directory that is in your environments's path.
