3. Some documentation, example and test files.
If you are in a hurry and want only a single executable,
- download any of these files:
sfk.exe Swiss File Knife for Windows (32/64 bits).
sfkx64.exe SFK x64 for 64 bit Windows only (OSE build).
sfk-linux.exe SFK for 32 bits Intel Linux, like Ubuntu.
sfk-linux-64.exe SFK for 64 bits Intel Linux, like Ubuntu 64.
sfk-linux-lib5.exe SFK for older Intel Linux, like DSL.
sfk-mac-i686.exe SFK for current Intel based Macs.
sfk-mac-ppc.exe SFK for older PowerPC Macs.
sfk-arm.exe SFK for ARM systems like Raspberry Pi.
sfktray-set-up.exe The SFKTray Status Display Tool for Windows,
Freeware edition, for use with sfk status.
you may use
1) automatic setup (Windows only):
- double click on the downloaded sfk.exe.
on Windows 10 you may have to confirm
a security dialogue to let it start.
- a command line window opens.
press 1, then enter to close.
- search the new "sfk shell" desktop icon.
double click to open a command line
which contains the sfk command.
or
2) manual setup:
- open a terminal or command line window (CMD.EXE).
- cd into your download folder.
- Windows: rename the .exe to sfk.exe,
copy it to an easy folder like C:\tools.
extend the command search path by:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\tools
now you can use the 'sfk' command.
- Linux/Mac: rename the .exe to just "sfk" like:
mv sfk-mac-i686.exe sfk
then make it executable by:
chmod +x sfk
and finally type:
./sfk
if you have no unzip tool, or in a wrong version,
you may download unzip for the command line from
http://stahlworks.com/dev/index.php?tool=zipunzip
