Installation
Several options are available for installation of Arduino CLI. Instructions for each are provided below:
Install via Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
The Arduino CLI is available as a Homebrew formula since version
0.5.0
:1brew update2brew install arduino-cli
Command line completion
Command line completion files are already bundled in the homebrew installation.
Use the install script
The script requires
sh
, which is always available on Linux and macOS. sh
is not available by default on Windows,
though it is available as part of Git for Windows (Git Bash). If you don't have sh
available, use the "Download" installation option.This script will install the latest version of Arduino CLI to
$PWD/bin
:1curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/master/install.sh | sh
If you want to target a different directory, for example
~/local/bin
, set the BINDIR
environment variable like this:1curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/master/install.sh | BINDIR=~/local/bin sh
If you would like to use the
arduino-cli
command from any location, install Arduino CLI to a directory already in your
PATH
or add the Arduino CLI installation path to your PATH
environment variable.If you want to download a specific Arduino CLI version, for example
0.9.0
or nightly-latest
, pass the version number
as a parameter like this:1curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/master/install.sh | sh -s 0.9.0
Arduino CLI checks for new releases every 24 hours. If you don't like this behaviour you can disable it by setting the
config or the
env var updater.enable_notification
to ARDUINO_UPDATER_ENABLE_NOTIFICATION
false
.Download
Pre-built binaries for all the supported platforms are available for download from the links below.
If you would like to use the
arduino-cli
command from any location, extract the downloaded file to a directory already
in your PATH
or add the Arduino CLI installation path to your
PATH
environment variable.Latest release

Build from source
If you're familiar with Golang or if you want to contribute to the project, you will probably build Arduino CLI locally with your Go toolchain. See the "How to contribute" page for instructions.
