How do I use Varlink?

[elimisteve]

Can I install it onto a Debian server?

Please add info about getting started to the website!

It doesn't appear there is even a varlink package for all RHEL-based flavors of Linux. My preferred production-grade distro is CentOS and I can't find indication that a package exists. Would be nice to have any sort of install instructions available and/or a more detailed compatibility matrix.

The source for the commandline tool is here: https://github.com/varlink/libvarlink.

It doesn't look like there is a package, but you can build it easily enough by cloning the repo and running make install. You will need to install the meson build tool and a C compiler such as clang.

Install and getting started instructions would be good to have.

There is also a CLI implemented in Rust: https://github.com/varlink/rust/tree/master/varlink-cli.

And Go: https://github.com/varlink/go-varlink-cmd
