Install Parsec CLI (Linux)

In order to deploy and maintain Parsec Server, you would need to perform some operations with Parsec CLI for Linux. These operations can be performed from another machine.

Parsec CLI is a standalone binary that can be downloaded from GitHub releases page.

Download Parsec CLI.
Make the file executable
- Right-click on file, then Properties ‣ Allow executing file as program
- Or use the chmod command:
```
chmod +x parsec-cli_3.9.1-a.0+dev_linux-x86_64-musl
```
Verify the installation by running the following command:
```
./parsec-cli_3.9.1-a.0+dev_linux-x86_64-musl --version
```
The Parsec CLI version should be displayed:
```
parsec-cli 3.9.1-a.0+dev
```

For convenience, put the executable in ~/.local/bin

cp parsec-cli_3.9.1-a.0+dev_linux-x86_64-musl ~/.local/bin

and make a symbolic link

cd  ~/.local/bin
ln -s parsec-cli_3.9.1-a.0+dev_linux-x86_64-musl parsec-cli

You will be able to execute parsec-cli from anywhere.
