Install CLI

Install the Uncloud command-line utility to manage your machines and deploy apps using uc commands. You will run uc locally so choose the appropriate installation method for your operating system.

:::info NOTE

Windows is not natively supported yet, but you can install and run uc in a WSL terminal by following the instructions for Linux. :::

Homebrew (macOS, Linux)

If you have Homebrew package manager installed, this is the recommended installation method on macOS and Linux:

brew install psviderski/tap/uncloud

To upgrade to the latest version:

brew upgrade uncloud

Install script (macOS, Linux)

For a quick automated installation, use the install script:

curl -fsS https://get.uncloud.run/install.sh | sh

The script will:

  • Detect your operating system and architecture
  • Download the appropriate latest binary from GitHub releases
  • Install it to /usr/local/bin/uncloud using sudo (you may need to enter your user password)
  • Create a shortcut uc in /usr/local/bin for convenience

Don't like curl | sh? You can download and review the install script first and then run it:

curl -fsSO https://get.uncloud.run/install.sh
cat install.sh
sh install.sh

GitHub download (macOS, Linux)

You can manually download and use a pre-built binary from the latest release on GitHub.

```shell curl -L https://github.com/psviderski/uncloud/releases/latest/download/uncloud_macos_arm64.tar.gz | tar xz mv uncloud uc ``` ```shell curl -L https://github.com/psviderski/uncloud/releases/latest/download/uncloud_macos_amd64.tar.gz | tar xz mv uncloud uc ``` ```shell curl -L https://github.com/psviderski/uncloud/releases/latest/download/uncloud_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar xz mv uncloud uc ``` ```shell curl -L https://github.com/psviderski/uncloud/releases/latest/download/uncloud_linux_arm64.tar.gz | tar xz mv uncloud uc ```

You can use the ./uc binary directly from the current directory, or move it to a directory in your system's PATH to run it as uc from any location.

For example, move it to /usr/local/bin which is a common location for user-installed binaries:

sudo mv ./uc /usr/local/bin

Follow the same steps to upgrade to the latest version in the future.

Debian

On a Debian system, you can install Uncloud CLI from an unofficial repository maintained by @dariogriffo:

curl -sS https://debian.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb https://debian.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.griffo.io.list
apt install -y uncloud

Alternatively, you can download .deb packages directly from the repository releases page.

Verify installation

After installation, verify that uc command is working:

uc --version

Next steps

Now that you have uc installed, you're ready to:
