      How to Download the Latest Memtime Version Using curl

      This article explains how you can automatically download the latest Memtime version using the command-line tool curl. This can be useful if you're managing installations via MDM systems or automation scripts.

      Why Use curl?


      Using curl gives you:

      • Automation: Automatically pull the latest software version.
      • Efficiency: No need to manually check or download installers.
      • Flexibility: Easily integrate into scripts or system management tools.

      Options for Downloading


      You can choose between JSON response links (for version checking) or direct download links (for immediate downloading).

      1. JSON Response Links (Check Before Download)


      These endpoints return the latest version info in JSON format. Ideal if you want to verify the version before downloading.
