Download package without install

[landrix]

Is it possible to download a package without install? Just to archive one version of a product.

Hi,
Yes, of course, at least from the command line. For example to download the latest FlexCel you would do:

tms fetch tms.flexcel.vcl

or to download every product you have a license for:

tms fetch *

To download FlexCel 7.20, you would do:

tms fetch tms.flexcel.vcl:7.20

You can get a list of all packages to download with:

tms list-remote

and get a list of all the available versions of a program with

tms versions-remote tms.flexcel.vcl

Downloaded versions will go to the Downloads folder, same as they go when you do a tms install. Actually, tms install is just a shortcut for tms fetch + tms build. You can fetch only, build only, or do both.

great. This should be added to the documentation. Or I just haven't found it.

You are completely right (and now I am sounding like an AI...)

I could have swore it was mentioned somewhere, but indeed it isn't. Anyway, we've restructured the help and moved every commend to its own page, now it is mentioned: https://github.com/tmssoftware/smartsetup/blob/main/doc/source/reference/tms-fetch.md

We will publish the new docs soon, as soon as we fix some missing stuff.
