🖥 How to Use as a Default Linux Command

Instead of running:

python arvan_cdn_cli.py ...

You can make it a global Linux command.

---

Step 1 — Make Script Executable

Ensure the shebang exists at the top (already included):

#!/bin/python3

Make it executable:

chmod +x arvan_cdn_cli.py

---

Step 2 — Move to System Path

Move the file to /usr/local/bin:

sudo mv arvan_cdn_cli.py /usr/local/bin/arvanctl

Now you can run it globally:

arvanctl cdn domains

---

Optional: Verify PATH

Check if /usr/local/bin exists in PATH:

echo $PATH

If not, add it to ~/.bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

Then reload:

source ~/.bashrc

---

📌 Usage

General syntax:

arvanctl cdn <resource> <action> [options]
