ASIMOV Command-Line Interface (CLI)

🚧 We are building in public. This is presently under heavy construction.

✨ Features

100% free and unencumbered public domain software.

🛠️ Prerequisites

Rust 1.85+

⬇️ Installation

Installation from Source Code

Installation via Cargo

cargo install asimov-cli --version 25.0.0-dev.9

Installation using Package Manager

Homebrew

Firstly, register this tap in your local Homebrew installation with:

brew tap asimov-platform/tap

Now you can install ASIMOV CLI with:

brew install asimov-cli

Scoop

First things first, you need to add our custom Scoop bucket:

scoop bucket add asimov-platform https://github.com/asimov-platform/scoop-bucket

Now, installing ASIMOV CLI is as easy as running:

scoop install asimov-platform/asimov-cli

Nix flakes

Nix flakes is an experimental feature that has to be enabled before going any further:

mkdir -p ~/.config/nix && echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

Now you can register the flake using:

nix registry add asimov-cli github:asimov-platform/nix-flake

And then install ASIMOV CLI with:

nix profile install asimov-cli#default --no-write-lock-file

Flatpak

First add the ASIMOV Platform Flatpak remote:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user asimov-cli --no-gpg-verify https://asimov-platform.github.io/flatpak

Then install ASIMOV CLI with:

flatpak install asimov-cli so.asimov.cli

Now you can run it like this:

flatpak run so.asimov.cli --help

You may want to create an alias for it:

alias asimov="flatpak run so.asimov.cli"

👉 Examples

Show help, including all available commands:

asimov help

When running commands you can add one or more -v flags to increase verbosity level.

Fetch data

# Fetch data from a URL, automatically choosing from installed modules
asimov fetch https://example.com/

# To fetch with a specific module use `-m` or `--module`
asimov fetch -m http https://example.com/

# Fetch multiple URLs
asimov fetch https://asimov.sh/ https://asimov.blog/

Import data as RDF from a URL

If you have the ASIMOV Bright Data module installed and configured, you should be able to fetch various social platform resources:

# Import data from a URL, automatically choosing from installed modules
asimov import https://x.com/asimov_platform

# Import using the specific module
asimov import -m brightdata https://x.com/asimov_platform

External Commands

The CLI automatically discovers and runs external commands starting with asimov-. If you installed using a package manager you should have access to ASIMOV Module CLI for managing installed modules:

# If you have asimov-module-cli installed
asimov module [arguments]

asimov module install http

# Get help for external commands
asimov help module
