Sonatype IQ CLI With Bundled JDK

Latest version:

Lifecycle The CLI binary versions are a drop-in replacement for the Java version without the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) requirements.

The parameters are the same as the Java CLI versions.

Download latest version for Linux:

The executable is located at bin/nexus-iq-cli.

To run the CLI on Linux, use the following command:

Optionally, add the executable to your system’s PATH for easier access.

       gpg --dearmor | \
       sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/sonatype-apt-hosted.gpg >/dev/null
  2. Add the repository to your sources. They may be added manually or automatically.
