Introduction and rational

This project contains a collection of shell scripts, that makes interaction with Alfresco a snap. Common administrative tasks and simple integrations will become a one liner. Installation

The scripts require a bash shell and familiar tools like curl. If you are on Linux (and of course you should) or Mac (acceptable) everything will be fine.

• Go to /usr/local/share
• Download the latest release: git clone https://github.com/ecm4u/alfresco-shell-tools.git
• Configure your environment:
  • Add the Alftools scripts to your shells search PATH: export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/share/alfresco-shell-tools/bin". To make this permanent add this line to your HOME/.profilerc file
