couchbase cbimport not in the bin folder

Question

I am using the latest Couchbase Server 6.0 Community Edition and have the bin folder under the application folder as this documentation suggests

/Applications/Couchbase Server.app/Contents/Resources/couchbase-core/bin

(I am using OSX)

https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/cli/cli-intro.html

but when I try to use the cbimport as from the documentation here . https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/tools/cbimport.html It does not appear to be in the bin or tools folder. So how should I invoke the command? I also tried couchbase-cli then cbimport

the commands I have tried

cd "/Applications/Couchbase Server.app/Contents/Resources/couchbase-core/bin"

./cbimport json -c http://localhost:8091/ -u admin -p password -b commonDB -d ccData.json -f lines -g %key%

-bash: ./cbimport: No such file or directory

./couchbase-cli cbimport json -c http://localhost:8091/ -u admin -p password -b commonDB -d ccData.json -f lines -g %key% ERROR: argument : invalid choice: 'cbimport' (choose from 'setting-alert', 'setting-notification', 'server-eshell', 'server-add', 'setting-security', 'node-init', 'collect-logs-status', 'ssl-manage', 'setting-xdcr', 'reset-admin-password', 'collect-logs-stop', 'recovery', 'rebalance-status', 'bucket-list', 'setting-index', 'group-manage', 'setting-master-password', 'cluster-init', 'user-manage', 'host-list', 'master-password', 'rebalance', 'setting-ldap', 'xdcr-replicate', 'rebalance-stop', 'cluster-edit', 'setting-autofailover', 'setting-audit', 'bucket-edit', 'bucket-delete', 'setting-password-policy', 'eventing-function-setup', 'server-info', 'setting-cluster', 'bucket-flush', 'failover', 'setting-autoreprovision', 'setting-compaction', 'bucket-create', 'bucket-compact', 'server-list', 'server-readd', 'admin-role-manage', 'collect-logs-start', 'xdcr-setup')

The cbimport tools simply does not seem to be in there

cbimport will be part of the Couchbase Community from Couchbase 6.5 onwards (which should be released soon). Here is the link to the issue: https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/MB-36651 (You can sign up to view it)

In the meantime, you can download and install the EE version for development.
