Docker images are also available as filen/cli (see below).
The CLI is also available as an NPM package, which can be installed with npm install --global @filen/cli and then invoked as filen. The NPM repository always contains the latest canary releases (see below).
The Filen CLI includes an automatic updater, for which you can enable canary releases (if you want to be among the first to try out new features and fixes). You can also install any specific version from within the CLI. See filen --help updates.
