title: 'Balena CLI Documentation',
|
|
introduction: `\
|
|
This tool allows you to interact with the balena api from the comfort of your command line.
|
|
|
|
Please make sure your system meets the requirements as specified in the [README](https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli).
|
|
|
|
## Install the CLI
|
|
|
|
### Npm install
|
|
|
|
The best supported way to install the CLI is from npm:
|
|
|
|
$ npm install balena-cli -g --production --unsafe-perm
|
|
|
|
\`--unsafe-perm\` is only required on systems where the global install directory is not user-writable.
|
|
This allows npm install steps to download and save prebuilt native binaries. You may be able to omit it,
|
|
especially if you're using a user-managed node install such as [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm).
|
|
|
|
### Standalone install
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you don't have a node or pre-gyp environment, you can still install the CLI as a standalone
|
|
binary. **This is in experimental and may not work perfectly yet in all environments**, but works well in
|
|
initial cross-platform testing, so it may be useful, and we'd love your feedback if you hit any issues.
|
|
|
|
To install the CLI as a standalone binary:
|
|
|
|
* Download the latest zip for your OS from https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/releases.
|
|
* Extract the contents, putting the \`balena-cli\` folder somewhere appropriate for your system (e.g. \`C:/balena-cli\`, \`/usr/local/lib/balena-cli\`, etc).
|
|
* Add the \`balena-cli\` folder to your \`PATH\`. (
|
|
[Windows instructions](https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm),
|
|
[Linux instructions](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14637979/how-to-permanently-set-path-on-linux-unix),
|
|
[OSX instructions](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22465332/setting-path-environment-variable-in-osx-permanently))
|
|
* Running \`balena\` in a fresh command line should print the balena CLI help.
|
|
|
|
To update in future, simply download a new release and replace the extracted folder.
|
|
|
|
Have any problems, or see any unexpected behaviour? Please file an issue!
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
Once you have the CLI installed, you'll need to log in, so it can access everything in your balena account.
|
|
|
|
To authenticate yourself, run:
|
|
|
|
$ balena login
|
|
|
|
You now have access to all the commands referenced below.
|
|
|
|
## Proxy support
|
|
|
|
The CLI does support HTTP(S) proxies.
|
|
|
|
You can configure the proxy using several methods (in order of their precedence):
|
|
|
|
* set the \`BALENARC_PROXY\` environment variable in the URL format (with protocol, host, port, and optionally the basic auth),
|
|
* use the [balena config file](https://www.npmjs.com/package/balena-settings-client#documentation) (project-specific or user-level)
|
|
and set the \`proxy\` setting. This can be:
|
|
* a string in the URL format,
|
|
* or an object following [this format](https://www.npmjs.com/package/global-tunnel-ng#options), which allows more control,
|
|
* or set the conventional \`https_proxy\` / \`HTTPS_PROXY\` / \`http_proxy\` / \`HTTP_PROXY\`
|
|
environment variable (in the same standard URL format).\
