curl --compressed https://github.com/NeuraLegion/bright-cli/releases/latest/download/bright-cli-macos-x64 -o bright-cli
chmod +x ./bright-cli
sudo mv ./bright-cli /usr/local/bin/

Alternatively, you can add the program's path to your PATH environment variable on macOS or Linux:

echo -n "export PATH=\"/path/to/your/bright-cli:\$PATH\"" >> "$HOME/.bashrc"  
source "$HOME/.bashrc"

Make sure to replace /path/to/your/bright-cli with the actual path where you've placed the executable. If using a different shell, update the profile file name accordingly (e.g., .zshrc or .profile).
To verify a successful installation, open a Command Prompt or Powershell and execute the following command:

bright-cli --version

If the CLI's version information is displayed, the installation was successful.
