Coder CLI

A single CLI (coder) is used for both the Coder server and the client.

We support two release channels: mainline and stable - read the Releases page to learn more about which best suits your team.

Download the latest release from GitHub

To start the Coder server:

coder server

To log in to an existing Coder deployment:

coder login https://coder.example.com

Download the CLI from your deployment

Available in Coder 2.19 and newer.

Every Coder server hosts CLI binaries for all supported platforms. You can run a script to download the appropriate CLI for your machine from your Coder deployment.

curl -L https://coder.example.com/install.sh | sh

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 server.

This script can be useful when authoring a template for installing the CLI.
