Coming with the first release: how to install the `vakna` CLI on macOS and Linux, and check that it works. The CLI isn't published yet, so there's nothing to install today.

## What will this page cover?

- Installing with one command, and with a package manager.
- Checking the install: `vakna --version`, and `vakna health` against the API.
- Updating, and removing it.
