Fluence Proto Distributor: FLDIST

{% hint style="info" %} Please note that we are in the process of deprecating fldist in favor of Aqua CLI. At the time of this writing, fldist remains fully functional except for the run_air command, which needs to be replace with aqua run.

We are currently in the process of updating the documentation to reflect these changes. If you run into an errant fldist reference, please let us now! {% endhint %}

fldist is a command line interface (CLI) to Fluence peers allowing for the lifecycle management of services and offers the fastest and most effective way to service deployment.
