# The Antidote CLI

The Antidote platform also comes with a CLI tool called `antidote`, which is meant to be used primarily by curriculum authors to validate or create new curriculum content like lessons.

You can always find the latest release[ here](https://github.com/nre-learning/syringe/releases/latest), where pre-compiled binaries for Antidote have been posted. For convenience, shell commands for downloading the latest version of this tool on your system are below:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="macOS" %}

```
curl -Lo antidote.tar.gz https://github.com/nre-learning/antidote-core/releases/download/v0.7.0/antidote-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
tar xvzf antidote.tar.gz
./antidote -h
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Windows (x64)" %}

```
$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/nre-learning/antidote-core/releases/download/v0.7.0/antidote-windows-amd64.zip -O antidote.zip
Expand-Archive -Force -LiteralPath 'antidote.zip' -DestinationPath .
.\antidote.exe -h
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Linux (x64)" %}

```
curl -Lo antidote.tar.gz https://github.com/nre-learning/antidote-core/releases/download/v0.7.0/antidote-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xvzf antidote.tar.gz
./antidote -h
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Note that this will result in the `antidote` binary being made available in the current directory. You may wish to either add this directory to your PATH, or move the binary to one that already is. The remainder of this documentation will assume you've done this, so that you can simply run the command `antidote` from anywhere. You can of course instead run the binary via the relative path shown in the final command above if you wish, it will work fine the same way.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nrelabs.io/antidote/the-antidote-cli.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
