## Install JQ
JQ is available from a [Github repository](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/). Just download for Linux, OS X, or Windows, as appropriate.
For modern versions of Debian, you should be able to install JQ using `apt-get`:
```
# apt-get install jq
```
> :book: ***What is JQ?*** The repository explains it best, saying "jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text."

Otherwise, you can download JQ from a [Github repository](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/). Just download a binary for Linux, OS X, or Windows, as appropriate.
Once you've downloaded the binary, you can install it on your system. If you're working on a Debian VPS as we suggest, your installation will look like this:
```
$ mv jq-linux64 jq
$ sudo /usr/bin/install -m 0755 -o root -g root -t /usr/local/bin jq
```
