Choco upgrade fail

If you see an error like:

Error retrieving packages from source 'https://www.nuget.org/api/v2':
 The combination of parameters provided to this OData endpoint is no longer supported. Please refer to the following URL for more information about this deprecation: https://aka.ms/nuget/odata-deprecation

Then first run:

choco source list

Then remove the one matching nuget.org:

choco source rm --name=nuget.org

Another way to fix a failing upgrade is to uninstall and reinstall.

choco uninstall qlik-cli
choco install qlik-cli

Installing manually

If you prefer to manually install qlik-cli, releases can be found under releases where you can choose a release suitable for your OS.

Note: The binary file provided for Microsoft Windows OS is not an installer. You need to place this file in your desired location and take any further steps such as adding it to your PATH manually.

Enable completion feature

To make it easier to write commands, consider enabling completion which generates auto completion scripts for bash or zsh.
