# How to install Pynt Binary (Linux only)

Pynt Binary can be used in Linux based CI/CD environments where docker cannot be used, its syntax compatible to Pynt CLI.

PYNT\_ID must be exported as an environment variable as Pynt authentication is not implemented yet

1. **Get the install script:** 

```bash
wget https://cdn.pynt.io/binary-release/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
```

1. **Run the Install Script**:
   * Execute the `install.sh` script to install `pynt`:

     ```
     ./install.sh
     ```
2. **Installation Steps**:
   * The `install.sh` script performs the following steps:
     * Creates the `.pynt/bin` and `.pynt/results` directories in the user's home directory.
     * Copies the `pynt`, `newman`, `mitmdump`, and `custom_har.py` files to the `.pynt/bin` directory.
     * Creates a symlink to the `pynt` binary in `/usr/local/bin` for easy access.

**Note**: Ensure you run the `install.sh` script as a non-root user. If the symlink creation fails, you may need to create it manually or run `pynt` from the `.pynt/bin` directory.
