Hello,
I am trying to use the quickstart guide for dagger and I am running into issues where inorder to run my first pipeline I need to do dagger run python ci/main.py I am not seeing anywhere in the quick start guide where I install dagger as an application to run the python code though. Can someone point me to where the in documentation I am supposed to have done this??

I see that the change to the docs was with this commit here https://github.com/dagger/dagger/commit/3a86f4111513ab3d83bd70b7ce2571bc19cece35

hey @magic scaffold you're correct! you first need to install the dagger CLI that can be found here. https://docs.dagger.io/cli/465058/install
apologies for that, we introduced the Dagger CLI not so long ago and we forgot to include that flow as part of the quickstart guide. Thx for the feedback. cc @dim quartz

ohh ok. So is this a requirement now to run dagger pipelines or can I still run them the "old way" by just calling python?

ohh ok. So is this a requirement now to run dagger pipelines or can I still run...
you can still run them the old way, but the CLI adds a new TUI visualizer that's really awesome to see your pipeline progress
instead of the previous raw log outputs which is not quite straightforward to follow

OHH ok. I see what you are saying. Is there a doc somewhere that I missed that talks through that part of installing the cli now. Sorry been working on some other stuff so may have missed a few announcements.

Thanks for the feedback @magic scaffold. Give me 10 min, I'll fix that in the quickstart to unblock you

Hopefully this will help @magic scaffold https://github.com/dagger/dagger/pull/5807 and sorry it wasn't clear from the beginning /cc @real yarrow for review

Ya that looks great
This might be too little to late but throwing this idea out there but it might be a good idea to suggest using homebrew to install dagger cli.

Ya that looks great
Just updated to include steps for mac and windows (we already had them in another part of the docs)
magic scaffold
oh awesome
dim quartz
It's hard to read in the PR as it uses a reusable section, but it is the same information as https://docs.dagger.io/cli/465058/install
magic scaffold
ya you read my mind. that was what I was looking at when I made the suggestion. lol. good catch though.
dim quartz
Great, glad you found it and thanks for letting us know about the missing information!
magic scaffold
No worries. Mainly I thought I had missed an announcement and was looking for it. :). Happy to help

FYI, you will find additional information on dagger run in the CLI reference page at https://docs.dagger.io/cli/979595/reference#dagger-run
