Install jq
jq is a powerful command-line tool for processing JSON data. It's a favorite among developers for working with JSON because it can:
- Parse JSON: easily read and extract data from JSON responses.
- Manipulate JSON: modify JSON data on the fly.
- Filter JSON: find exactly what you're looking for within large JSON structures.
Assignment
Most Unix-based systems, including macOS and Linux, do not come with jq pre-installed. Follow these steps to install it on your system.
Check if you have jq installed. Open a terminal and type:
jq --version
If you see the version number, you're good to go.
Run and submit the CLI tests.
If you don't have jq installed, install it:
Ubuntu (WSL) / Linux
Install on Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu/WSL) with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jq
