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

How to get PYNT_ID

1. Get the install script:

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.
