🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

1. Create a software package:

$ c8y software create --name "python3-requests" --description "python requests library" --softwareType apt

2. Create a software package which is only applicable for a specific device type:

$ c8y software create --name "python3-requests" --description "python requests library" --deviceType "c8y_Linux" --softwareType apt

3. Create the same software package for multiple device types:

$ echo -e "c8y_Linux\nc8y_MacOS" | c8y software create --name "python3-requests" --description "python requests library"  --softwareType rpm

4. Create a software package and create a new version:

$ c8y software create --name "python3-requests" | c8y software versions create --version "1.0.0" --file "python3-requests.deb"
