# mas-cli
Command line interface for the Mac App Store, designed for scripting and
automation.
## Install
[Homebrew](hb) is the preferred way to install:
brew install argon/mas/mas
Alternatively binaries are available in the [GitHub Releases](ghreleases)
## Usage
Each application in the Mac App Store has a product identifier which is also
used for mas-cli commands. The best way to find the product identifier of an
app is to run `mas list`. This will list all installed applications along with
their product identifiers
