Install the Coder CLI
Install the standalone Coder CLI binary on Linux, macOS, or Windows to run the control plane and client.
On this page
A single CLI (coder) is used for both the control plane and the client.
We support two release channels: mainline and stable - read the Releases page to learn more about which best suits your team.

Our install script is the fastest way to install Coder on Linux/macOS:
curl -fsSL https://coder.com/install.sh | shRefer to GitHub releases for alternate installation methods (e.g. standalone binaries, system packages).
To run the Coder control plane on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux host or another RHEL-family distribution, refer to Install Coder on RHEL-family Linux.
To start the control plane:

Note
Available in Coder 2.19 and newer on macOS and Linux clients only.
Every control plane hosts CLI binaries for all supported platforms. You can run a script to download the appropriate CLI for your machine from your Coder deployment.
This script works within air-gapped deployments and ensures that the version of the CLI you have installed on your machine matches the version of the control plane.
This script can be useful when authoring a template for installing the CLI.
