### Install Argo CLI

Before we can get started configuring `argo` we'll need to first install the
command line tools that you will interact with. To do this run the following.

```bash
# set argo version
export ARGO_VERSION="v2.12.13"
```

```bash
# Download the binary
curl -sLO https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/releases/download/${ARGO_VERSION}/argo-linux-amd64.gz

# Unzip
gunzip argo-linux-amd64.gz

# Make binary executable
chmod +x argo-linux-amd64

# Move binary to path
sudo mv ./argo-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/argo

# Test installation
argo version --short
```

argo: v2.12.13
