Install SLT#

You can install SLT by following the steps in Install and Configure Packages.

SLT supports online help: slt --help or slt -h or slt COMMAND --help.

SLT Locations#

SLT is downloaded as a zip file that contains the slt executable (slt.exe on Windows and just 'slt' on MacOS or Linux). Extract the executable to any location you want. Silicon Labs recommends using a folder on your environment search path or else adding the folder to the environment search path.
