You can read the docs for installation steps:

Manual installation:

1. Download the Spring CLI distribution: you can find the latest version link here.
2. Extract the downloaded zip file to any path of your choice.
3. Prerequisite: Make sure you have Java JDK v1.8 or above (check INSTALL.txt file from extracted archive in Step-1). You can check your JDK version using command: java --version.
4. Add the spring CLI script's path to $PATH environment variable: For example, you can add below lines to your .bashrc file in *nix systems:

export SPRING_HOME=/path/to/your/extracted-spring-cli/spring-2.4.0
export PATH=$SPRING_HOME/bin:$PATH

After saving the .bashrc file, run $ source .bashrc to reload the environment variables you just added.

5. (optional; and not for Windows user) Shell auto-completion scripts are provided for BASH and ZSH with the extracted archive in Step-1. Add symlinks to the appropriate location for your environment. For example, something like:

  ln -s /path/to/your/extracted-spring-cli/spring-2.4.0/shell-completion/bash/spring /etc/bash_completion.d/spring
  ln -s /path/to/your/extracted-spring-cli/spring-2.4.0/shell-completion/zsh/_spring /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_spring

To check if you are using BASH or ZSH, run the command: $ echo $SHELL.

6. DONE: To test if you have successfully installed the CLI you can run the following command: spring --version.

Answer 4

Here is detailed instruction on how to do it, much more useful than official one, at least for manual installation. One more thing - to make path change permanent you might need to logout - login, as "source /etc/profile" will be effective only for currently opened terminal.
