Path C: Kit download

This downloads a Kit's assets directly into the project — useful for self-hosting or desktop use.

  1. Ask the user for their Kit code.
  2. Verify the user is authenticated for Kit download. Run fa whoami to check login status.
    • If logged in → proceed.
    • If not logged in, check if FA_API_TOKEN is set → if yes, proceed.
    • If neither, tell the user:

      You need to be logged in to the Font Awesome CLI to download your Kit. Run fa login in a separate terminal, then come back here and try again. Alternatively, set the FA_API_TOKEN environment variable with your API token from https://fontawesome.com/account/general.

  3. Determine the download type:
    • Web project: fa kit download --kit-token <code> --unzip --output <dir> web
    • Desktop project: fa kit download --kit-token <code> --unzip --output <dir> desktop Choose the output directory based on the project structure — e.g., vendor/fontawesome, public/fontawesome, assets/fontawesome, or ask the user.
  4. Run the download command and verify the files were extracted.
  5. For web projects, add the appropriate <link> or <script> tag pointing to the local files (follow the self-hosting docs fetched earlier).
