dwa CLI

dwa is the DWA command-line tool, designed first for local agents and scripts: sync the organization's themes, check a presentation, export it to PowerPoint, validate and publish a theme. A single executable, with no Node or other prerequisite (the machine's Chrome, Chromium or Edge is used for rendering).

available Linux (x86-64, static) and Windows (x86-64).

Installation

One line, like uv:

# Linux, WSL
curl -LsSf https://marp.yassine-hadi.net/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://marp.yassine-hadi.net/install.ps1 | iex

The executable is placed in ~/.local/bin (Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\dwa\bin, added to PATH), after its SHA-256 fingerprint is verified. Variables: DWA_INSTALL_DIR (another folder), DWA_NO_MODIFY_PATH=1 (Windows: PATH left unchanged).

Updating:

dwa self update

Sign-in shared with VS Code

The CLI and the extension read the same folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\dwa, or the Windows folder from WSL; DWA_HOME for another one): signing in to one signs in the other, and synced themes serve both. The token is encrypted on the machine; permissions are always checked by the server.
