Nhost CLI on npm

Run the Nhost CLI through your package manager — no curl or brew, version-pinned per project.

One-off usage

npx @nhost/cli@latest --version
pnpm dlx @nhost/cli@latest --version
yarn dlx @nhost/cli@latest --version
bunx @nhost/cli@latest --version

Install in a project

npm install -D @nhost/cli
pnpm add -D @nhost/cli
yarn add -D @nhost/cli
bun add -d @nhost/cli

Then run the local binary with your package manager:

npm exec nhost -- --version
pnpm exec nhost --version
yarn nhost --version
bunx nhost --version

Or add scripts to package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "backend:up": "nhost up",
    "backend:down": "nhost down"
  }
}

The package version matches the CLI release version ([email protected] on GitHub), so pinning the package pins the CLI for the whole team.

Supported platforms

macOS (arm64, x64) and Linux (arm64, x64). On Windows, use WSL2 — inside WSL the Linux binary is selected automatically.
