# 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

    $ mas list
    446107677 Screens
    407963104 Pixelmator
    497799835 Xcode

To install an application simply run `mas install`:

    $ mas install 808809998
    ==> Downloading PaintCode 2
    ==> Installed PaintCode 2

`mas install` can also be used to install pending updates.

Use `mas outdated` to list all applications with pending updates.

    $ mas outdated
