Hello,

We are excited to share that we have released a new OONI Probe Command
Line Interface (CLI)!

You can install OONI Probe on the command line on:

* Debian/Ubuntu: https://ooni.org/install/cli/ubuntu-debian

* macOS: https://ooni.org/install/cli/macos

Upon installation, OONI Probe will run all tests *automatically* every day!

This is very exciting because you can easily contribute lots of
measurements every day without having to remember to run OONI Probe. :)

Given that all OONI Probe measurements are openly published in near
real-time (https://ooni.org/data/), you will help the internet freedom
community better investigate internet censorship.

IMPORTANT:

Are you running the python legacy version of ooniprobe
(https://github.com/ooni/probe-legacy) on Linux or macOS?

This is the old version of ooniprobe that has been around since ~ 2012.

If you're still running it (and we know that many of you are!):

* First of all: We love you for being such a long-term Oonitarian and
contributing so many measurements over the years! <3

* Second (and importantly): Please SWITCH OVER to the new OONI Probe
CLI: https://ooni.org/install/cli

We are in the process of discontinuing the legacy ooniprobe version.

Similarly to the legacy version, you'll be able to have all tests run
automatically in the background every day with the new OONI Probe CLI,
and it will also receive important future updates (such as new tests,
code improvements, etc.).

If you know others who are running the legacy version of ooniprobe, we'd
appreciate it if you could please share the above information with them!

Happy to address any questions.

Thanks a million!

~ OONI team.
