Installing Services

Installing and verifying a service using the CLI or the UI

Installing a service using the CLI

The general syntax for installing a service with the CLI is:

dcos package install [--options=<config-file-name>.json] <servicename>

Use the optional --options flag to specify the name of the customized JSON file you created in advanced configuration.

For example, use the following command to install Chronos with the default parameters.

dcos package install chronos
