Bridge is now available in two flavors

Note: The existing Bridge package has been renamed to Bridge CLI Bundle and includes all the features.

Using Bridge CLI Bundle

  1. Download the latest Bridge Bundle from repo.blackduck.com or the Polaris UI.
    • If Bridge Bundle is downloaded from repo.blackduck.com, please verify the checksum.
      • Mac example:

        cat ~/Downloads/bridge-cli-bundle-macos_arm.zip | openssl dgst -md5 -binary | openssl enc -base64

      • Windows example:

        type %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\bridge-cli-win64.zip | openssl dgst -md5 -binary | openssl enc -base64

  2. To install, simply unzip and add bridge-cli executable to your PATH or use absolute path to bridge-cli executable.
  3. Run Bridge.

Download Bridge CLI Bundle from the Polaris UI

To download the latest Bridge CLI Bundle from the Polaris UI, follow these steps:

  1. Click username at the top right.
  2. Select Accounts.
  3. Select Downloads.
  4. Choose the appropriate package for your operating system.

Using Bridge CLI Thin Client – New!

Download the latest version of the Bridge CLI Thin Client from repo.blackduck.com. (Checksum verification examples are shown above.)

The Thin Client downloads the necessary features at runtime as it executes the workflow. Here are some command examples:

  1. To download the latest version of Polaris workflow, and run it: bridge-cli --stage polaris --update
  2. To list all available and installed versions of Polaris workflows using list command: bridge-cli --list polaris
  3. To list all available and installed versions workflows using list command: bridge-cli --list
  4. To install a workflow:
    • To install the latest version of the Polaris workflow: bridge-cli --install polaris
    • To install a specific version of connect workflow: bridge-cli --install connect@<version>
  5. To uninstall a workflow:bridge-cli --uninstall polaris@<version> would uninstall a specific version of Polaris workflow
  6. To purge. In case you have multiple versions of different workflows installed, try running: bridge-cli --purge, and it will uninstall all old versions of each workflow, and just keep the latest versions
  7. To use: bridge-cli --use all@latest. This will make sure Bridge updates itself to the latest version before running a workflow
  8. A common example to have the latest of each workflow and Bridge binary would be: bridge-cli --stage polaris --update --use all@latest
  9. To register the artifactory: bridge-cli --register
  10. To update: bridge-cli --diagnostics --update
  11. To check the version: bridge-cli --version
Note: The old Synopsys Black Duck product has been renamed to Black Duck SCA. To address this name change, the Bridge CLI --stage parameter value has been changed from blackduck to blackducksca. Bridge will error out if you use the incorrect value.
