make it possible to download the linux SDK on a linux system without first figuring out the URL on a macos or windows machine and then changing it to linux because the website is so poolry made that i can only download the mobile SDK on my linux machines.

seriously. I DON'T GET A DOWNLOAD URL FOR LINUX WHEN I VISIT IT ON MY LINUX (debian or void with firefox) MACHINE. I HAVE TO FIND THE DOWNLOAD URL AND THEN CHANGE THE -MAC- PART TO -LIN-    WHY!!!

please just show all 3 urls, that way you can just download for the platform you wish. don't decide for me that i can't get the macos or windows url. just dont

  • I've got a ticket open for this issue--we don't have a direct download right now since we've moved SDK and device management to the SDK manager (and as Travis points out, you can't use the SDK without installing the devcies). Apologies for the trouble!

  • We could provide links to the SDK, but I'm pretty sure the SDK is useless without the device configuration files.

  • well, that's pretty *** up ins't it? when you have to use a bash script to download a file, garmin should just make the download for linux button available on all platforms, and the same for macos and windows sdk download urls.

    thanks for the suggestion though, i do appreciate it!

  • You can use this script to download the latest sdk:

    #!/bin/sh
    GMNDL=https://developer.garmin.com/downloads/connect-iq/sdks
    wget -q $GMNDL/sdks.json
    SDK=`jq '.[].linux' sdks.json|sort -n|tail -1|tr -d '"'`
    wget -q -O ciq.zip $GMNDL/$SDK
