OSX is it possible to login to the App Store via the CLI

The subject states it as clearly as possible. Looking for a way to help streamline the setup process of Apple devices and I'm curious if anyone knows of a way to login to the App Store using the CLI.

@bnrstnr yeah mas installs apps from the app store, which is what I'm trying to get working.

So you can only install apps that was already purchased from the app store?

Ah So mas does have the functionality and I'm just blind!
$ mas signin mas@example.com
==> Signing in to Apple ID: mas@example.com

@black3dynamite from what I'm able to determine you have to sign in, period and "purchase" those apps.

Of course there is an issue with OSX 10.13+. . .

You might look at the tools that Apple is pushing (and thus supporting). I don't know if Munki will fit your requirements, but it may.
