# 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. macOS / Linux: ```bash bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/cove/install.sh) ``` 2. Windows (PowerShell): ```powershell iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/cove/install.ps1 | iex ``` 3. Verify: `cove-cli --version` 4.

The installer downloads the `cove-cli` and `cove-mcp` binaries into `~/.local/bin` (macOS / Linux) or `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\msp-skills` (Windows). It does not register the skill with your agent and writes no MCP client config - see [mcp-install.md](./mcp-install.md) for that wire-up. 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
