Optional. Cisely runs in the browser and nothing here is needed to get started — see Setting up Cisely. Install the CLI when you want to drive a project from a terminal, or script Cisely into a pipeline of your own.
The CLI is a single command named cisely. Install it with the one-line installer below — it downloads a self-contained native binary, so there is no language runtime or package manager to set up first.
curl -fsSL https://gopkg.cisely.dev/cli/install.sh | shThe installer places the cisely binary in ~/.local/bin and makes it executable. It supports macOS and Linux; on Windows, run it inside WSL.
Put it on your PATH
If ~/.local/bin is not already on your PATH, the installer will say so. Add it — the exact file depends on your shell — and reload:
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc # or ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELLConfirm it runs
cisely --versionIf it prints a version string, the CLI is installed and on your PATH.
Where it talks to
Out of the box the CLI talks to Cisely's production platform at https://api.cisely.ai — you do not need to configure anything to use it.
If you ever need to point it elsewhere (for example, a local stack), override it for a single command with the CISELY_API_URL environment variable, or persist a different endpoint:
cisely config set api_url <url>Every command accepts --help for its full options, and -o json (or plain / yaml) for machine-readable output.
Next: sign in from the terminal with the account you already have.
