Install the CLI

The liblab CLI can be installed by using your terminal of choice using npm, pnpm or Homebrew:

npm

To install the liblab CLI make sure you have Node.js version 18.17 or later installed. We recommend using nvm to manage your Node.js versions.

You can install the CLI using npm by running this command in your terminal:

npm install -g liblab

pnpm

To install the liblab CLI make sure you have Node.js version 18.17 or later installed, as well as pnpm.

You can install the CLI using pnpm by running this command in your terminal:

pnpm add -g liblab

Homebrew

If you are using Homebrew, first you need to add the liblab repository to your list of Homebrew taps. You can do this by running this command in your terminal:

brew tap liblaber/homebrew-liblab

Then you can install the liblab CLI by running this command:

brew install liblab

This will install the latest version of the CLI to your computer. To verify that the CLI has been installed properly, run:

liblab --version

You should see the version in the output:

➜  ~ liblab --version
liblab/0.18.0 darwin-arm64 node-v18.17.2

If a new version of the CLI is released, you will need to update - if you try to run a command with an outdated version of the CLI, you will see an error message telling you to update. To update the CLI to the latest version, run:

npm

npm update -g liblab

note

If you prefer to run the latest version at all times, you can do so using npx. Just add npx before any of your commands. For example:

npx liblab@latest [command]

This is useful when an automated system needs to run the CLI such as in the case of CI/CD.

pnpm

pnpm up -g liblab

Homebrew

First update the Homebrew package list by running:

brew update

Then upgrade the CLI:

brew install liblab
