CLI

@thermal-label/labelmanager-cli is a thin command-line wrapper over the Node.js driver. It is useful for local testing, quick ad-hoc labels, shell scripting, cron jobs, and Linux udev setup.

Install

pnpm add -D @thermal-label/labelmanager-cli

Inside this monorepo you can skip the install and use:
