Whisper, from
the terminal
A small Go binary wrapping the API's headers so you don't have to assemble curl requests by hand — whisper send and whisper read, that's most of it. No runtime required, one
static binary per platform.
macOS or Linux, if you already have Homebrew.
Updates come through brew upgrade like everything else.
brew install incatswetrust/tap/whisperOne line, downloads the right binary for your machine and installs it to /usr/local/bin.
