as this tools remove sites without warning.**

```
pipx upgrade cmk-dev-site

cmk-dev-install-site 2.5 # download package, install, create site for 2.5

### `cmk-dev-install-site`

Is a shortcut for the more verbose `cmk-dev-install` and `cmk-dev-site`
commands. This way you lose some of the possibilities, but only have to
remember one command. Also prints out the commands that it will execute, so you
can c&p it.

### `cmk-dev-install`

Will download the requested package of Checkmk and install said package.

You might request a daily build (`cmk-dev-install 2.5.0-daily`),
the latest available daily build (handy if there are no daily builds of today) (`cmk-dev-install 2.5`),
or an officially release Checkmk version (`cmk-dev-install 2.4.0p9`).

Please check the built in help (`cmk-dev-install --help`) for all options!

### `cmk-dev-site`

Will create a site, install the checkmk agent, and add a single host to the site.

`cmk-dev-site` uses [omd
commands](https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/omd_basics.html) and the official
[REST-API](https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/rest_api.html) to create one or
multiple sites based on the current default omd version (or the version
specified on the command line).

You might use `-d 1` to create a distributed monitoring with one distributed site.

Please check the built in help (`cmk-dev-site --help`) for all options!

### Cleanup

Currently there is no public available tool to completely cleanup sites and
packages create with the presented tools. If you are a Checkmk developer you
might make use of the internal tool `omd-hauweg`, otherwise you have to
manually remove the sites using `omd rm`.
For uninstall packages that are no longer in use you can use `omd cleanup`,
or you might fall back to use `apt purge`.
