ANKASecure CLI – Installers

Introduction

The ANKASecure CLI is a powerful command-line interface that provides direct access to cryptographic operations, key management, and security workflows using the ANKASecure API.

Why Use ANKASecure CLI?

• No programming required – Perform cryptographic operations directly from the terminal.
• Automation & Scripting – Ideal for CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps workflows.
• Post-Quantum Cryptography – Supports ML-KEM, ML-DSA, Falcon, and SLH-DSA.

File Integrity Verification

Checksum Files

For security purposes, all installer files include checksums for integrity verification:

• SHA256 Checksums: sha256sums
• MD5 Checksums: md5sums

How to Verify File Integrity

After downloading an installer, verify its integrity using one of these methods:

Windows (PowerShell)

# Download checksum file
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://docs.ankatech.co/downloads/checksums/sha256sums" -OutFile sha256sums

# Verify downloaded installer
$hash = (Get-FileHash "ANKASecureCLI_windows-x64_3_0_0.exe" -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()
Select-String -Path sha256sums -Pattern $hash

macOS/Linux (Terminal)

# Download checksum file
curl https://docs.ankatech.co/downloads/checksums/sha256sums > sha256sums

# Verify
sha256sum ANKASecureCLI_macos_3_0_0.dmg | grep -f sha256sums

# MD5 verification (alternative)
md5sum ANKASecureCLI_unix_3_0_0.sh

Using Checksum Files

# Download and verify using checksum file
wget https://docs.ankatech.co/installers/sha256sums
sha256sum -c sha256sums --ignore-missing

Quick Reference - All Checksums

⚠️ Security Notice: Always verify checksums before installation to ensure file integrity and authenticity.

Included CLI Executables

All installers provide two distinct CLI executables:

1. ANKASecure CLI - The standard command-line interface for advanced users who want direct command execution or scripting.

2. ANKASecure CLI Demo - An interactive, text-based menu interface that guides you through 23 example scenarios, demonstrating the full capabilities of the AnkaSecure API.

Use ANKASecure CLI Demo if you prefer a guided demo to quickly understand what the solution can do. For direct control and scripting in more advanced scenarios, use ANKASecure CLI.

Installation Instructions

Windows
