Installation
Netlify CLI requires Node.js version 18.14.0 or above. To install, run the following command from any directory in your terminal:
npm install netlify-cli -gWhen using the CLI in a CI environment we recommend installing it locally as a development dependency, instead of globally. To install locally, run the following command from the root directory of your project:
npm install --save-dev netlify-cliImportant: Running npm install netlify-cli -g in CI means you're always installing the latest version of the CLI,
including breaking changes. When you install locally and use a
lock file you guarantee reproducible builds. To manage CLI updates we
recommend using an automated tool like renovate or
dependabot.
Alternatively you may also use Homebrew: brew install netlify-cli (thanks
@cglong).
