This is the easiest and best-supported way to use CrossnoKaye products from your terminal. It automatically installs, updates, and runs tools with simple commands, so you don't have to worry about downloading or managing different versions yourself.
Just install it (instructions below) and then, at your terminal, ck foobar to invoke the foobar tool. We'll download the tool for you; if we can't find it, we'll give you helpful pointers on how to locate it.
Download and run a suitable installer for your platform.
