(Optional) Submitting using the CLI

We also provide an optional command line interface (CLI), which can be used instead of the Discord bot to submit to leaderboards. In this page, we will walk through setting up the Popcorn CLI.

Setup

The Popcorn CLI GitHub provides instructions for setting up the CLI. In this walkthrough, we will use the release binaries that are downloadable here. First, download the .zip relevant to your computer and extract it into a suitable location.

We can either directly run the binary and add it to our path using (fill in popcorn_cli_path with your own)

export PATH="{popcorn_cli_path}:$PATH"

To make this permanent, you can also add it to your ~/.bashrc / ~/.bash_profile / ~/.zshrc.

An Example Walkthrough

We have to point our CLI to the Popcorn API in our Discord bot.

export POPCORN_API_URL={API_URL}

The rest of the CLI is self-explanatory -- you can submit files to specific leaderboards like in the previous sections using

popcorn-cli <submission-file>
