Verify the installation

After installing, confirm the binary is on your PATH and working: 
provenance --version

​
OCI scanning prerequisites

Scanning OCI container images with provenance scan oci requires either syft or cosign to be installed and available on your PATH. The CLI tries cosign first, then falls back to syft.
OCI scanning is not required for SBOM or package queries. You only need syft or cosign if you plan to use provenance scan oci.

​
Shell completions

provenance can generate completion scripts for bash, zsh, and fish. 
provenance completions bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/provenance
Then reload your shell or source the completion file:
source /etc/bash_completion.d/provenance

​
Next steps

Quick start

Set your API token and run your first scan.
