Install the CLI

Install the anlyon CLI from npm (Node 20.3 or later), or use a standalone executable for Linux, macOS or Windows.

Install the CLI from npm.

npm

The npm package needs Node 20.3 or later. It has no runtime dependencies. The Anlyon SDK is bundled in.

npm install -g @anlyonhq/cli

pnpm add -g @anlyonhq/cli

Check the install:

anlyon --version

The version output also names the @anlyonhq/sdk version bundled into this build.

To run a single command without a global install:

npx @anlyonhq/cli --version

To upgrade, run the install command again. To remove it, npm uninstall -g @anlyonhq/cli.

Supported platforms

The npm package runs wherever Node 20.3 or later runs.

Standalone executables

A standalone executable embeds its own runtime, so it runs on a clean machine with no Node installed. Each GitHub release tagged @anlyonhq/cli@<version> carries one file per platform, with a SHA256SUMS file alongside:

The release assets sit in the Anlyon source repository, which is private. Downloading one needs access to that repository. Without it, install from npm.

Verify the download

Compare the file’s SHA-256 hash with its line in SHA256SUMS:

sha256sum anlyon-linux-x64

shasum -a 256 anlyon-darwin-arm64

Get-FileHash anlyon-windows-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256

macOS and Linux

Make the file executable and move it onto your PATH as anlyon:

chmod +x anlyon-darwin-arm64
sudo mv anlyon-darwin-arm64 /usr/local/bin/anlyon
anlyon --version

Use the file name for your platform and architecture.

macOS may quarantine an unsigned download. Code signing and notarisation are not in place yet. If macOS refuses to run the file, clear the quarantine attribute before moving it:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine anlyon-darwin-arm64

Windows

Put anlyon-windows-x64.exe on your PATH as anlyon.exe. For example, in PowerShell, for the current user:

$dir = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\anlyon"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force $dir | Out-Null
Move-Item anlyon-windows-x64.exe "$dir\anlyon.exe"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "User") + ";$dir", "User")

Open a new terminal so it picks up the new PATH, then check:

anlyon --version
