# Cove Data Protection - Printing Press CLI ## Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the `cove-cli` binary. **You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill.** If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to `$HOME/.local/bin` on macOS/Linux and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin` on Windows: ```bash npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install cove --cli-only ``` 2. Verify: `cove-cli --version` 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on `$PATH` for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the `npx` install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.4 or newer). This installs into `$GOPATH/bin` (default `$HOME/go/bin`), so add that directory to `$PATH` instead: ```bash go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/monitoring/cove/cmd/cove-cli@latest ``` If `--version` reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on `$PATH`. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. Cove's console scopes to one customer at a time and forgets yesterday. cove-cli speaks the whole JSON-RPC API: one command sweeps every partner for failed or stale backups with column codes decoded to human names, `snapshot` keeps timestamped SQLite history so `storage growth` and `devices changes` can answer trend questions nothing else can, and `call` re
