CoTerm is supported on macOS and Linux.

Install Datadog CoTerm with Homebrew or curl:
brew (macOS only)
```
brew install coterm
```
curl
```
curl --tlsv1.2 --proto '=https' -sSf 'https://coterm.datadoghq.com/install-ddcoterm.sh' | bash
```
This command downloads the latest version of CoTerm to .ddcoterm/bin/ddcoterm and updates your PATH in .bashrc and .zshrc. Restart your terminal or source your profile. If you are using a shell other than Bash or Zsh, add path/to/.ddcoterm/bin to your PATH manually.
If your Datadog site is not https://app.datadoghq.com, set your site in .ddcoterm/config.yaml under connection_config.host:
```
...
connection_config:
  host: 
...
```
Initialize your configuration file by running:
```
ddcoterm init
```
Select your settings. You can change these settings in the ~/.ddcoterm/config.yaml file.

Authorize CoTerm to connect to Datadog

During initialization, you can choose one of the following ways to authorize CoTerm to access your Datadog Account:

OAuth: Opens a browser for you to log in with OAuth.
API Key + App Key: Prompts you to set your Datadog API key and application key in ~/.ddcoterm/config.yaml.
API Key Only: Prompts you to set your Datadog API key in ~/.ddcoterm/config.yaml.

If you select the API Key Only option, you cannot require approvals with Case Management.

Configure your CoTerm settings

The ~/.ddcoterm/config.yaml file contains your CoTerm configurations:

process_config

Configure CoTerm to act as a linter and take certain actions when it intercepts a command that matches a rule. See CoTerm Configuration Rules.

enable_telemetry

Enable or disable sending telemetry to Datadog. Defaults to false.

enable_ptrace

Enable or disable experimental ptrace-based process monitoring on Linux. Defaults to false.

connection_config

host: Host for connecting to Datadog. Defaults to https://app.datadoghq.com.
port: Port for connecting to Datadog. Defaults to 443.
api_key: If you are not using OAuth, your Datadog API key. If you have enabled OAuth, CoTerm defaults to using OAuth and ignores api_key.
app_key: If you are not using OAuth, your Datadog application key.
Note: To require approvals with Case Management, you must use OAuth or specify both your API key and application key in this file.
