# Setup
## Get access to Chainloop
This guide assumes that you have access to a [Chainloop Cloud](https://app.chainloop.dev/) account or to your own Chainloop instance of Chainloop. If you don't, please [contact us](https://app.chainloop.dev/request-access), and we'll get back to you shortly.
## Install the Chainloop Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Chainloop CLI is used to send pieces of evidence and attestations to the platform. During this getting started, we’ll use the CLI to perform local attestations first but later in a CI/CD system.
To install the latest version for macOS, Linux or Windows (using [WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install)) just choose one of the following installation method.
**Open Source Edition:**
```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -sfL https://dl.chainloop.dev/cli/install.sh | bash -s
```
**Enterprise Edition:**
The CLI Enterprise Edition is a proprietary extension of the open-source Chainloop CLI that provides additional features and capabilities available in platform [paid plans](https://chainloop.dev/pricing).
```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -sfL https://dl.chainloop.dev/cli/install.sh | bash -s -- --ee
```
you can install a specific version with
```bash theme={"dark"}
# You can find all the available versions at https://github.com/chainloop-dev/chainloop/releases
curl -sfL https://dl.chainloop.dev/cli/install.sh | bash -s -- --version vx.x.x
```
and customize the install path (default to /usr/local/bin)
```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -sfL https://dl.chainloop.dev/cli/install.sh | bash -s -- --path /my-path
```
To install without sudo, provide a user-accessible path:
```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -sfL https://dl.chainloop.dev/cli/install.sh | bash -s -- --path ~/.local/bin
```
if [cosign](https://docs.sigstore.dev/quickstart/quickstart-cosign/) is present in your system, in addition to the checksum check, a signature verification will be performed. This behavior can be enforced via the --force-verification flag.
```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -sfL https://dl.chainloop.dev/cli/install.sh | bash -s -- --force-verification
```
Refer to GitHub [releases](https://github.com/chainloop-dev/chainloop/releases) page and download the binary of your choice.
```bash theme={"dark"}
git clone git@github.com:chainloop-dev/chainloop
cd chainloop && make -C app/cli build
./app/cli/bin/chainloop version
=> chainloop version ...
```
## On-Premises CLI Configuration (if applicable)
If you are running your own instance of Chainloop Platform. You must change the default endpoints' values pointing by using the following command:
```bash theme={"dark"}
chainloop config save \
--control-plane my-controlplane.acme.com:443 \
--artifact-cas cas.acme.com:443 \
```
```bash theme={"dark"}
chainloop config save \
--control-plane my-controlplane.acme.com:443 \
--artifact-cas cas.acme.com:443 \
--platform my-platform.acme.com:443
```
