Helicone Router CLI

A Node.js CLI wrapper for the Helicone Router - a high-performance proxy router for LLM APIs built with Rust.

Installation

Using npx (Recommended)

npx helicone-router --start

Global Installation

npm install -g helicone-router
helicone-router --start

Usage

Once installed, you can use the helicone-router command from anywhere:

# Start the router
helicone-router --start

# Check version
helicone-router --version

# Get help
helicone-router --help

All arguments are forwarded directly to the underlying Rust binary, so you can use any flags and options that the Rust CLI supports.

System Requirements

• Node.js: Version 16 or higher
• Supported Platforms:
  • macOS (darwin)
  • Linux (linux)

How It Works

This package includes pre-compiled Rust binaries for different platforms:

• helicone-router-macos for macOS
• helicone-router-linux for Linux

The Node.js wrapper automatically detects your operating system and runs the appropriate binary with your provided arguments.

Troubleshooting

"Binary not found" Error

Make sure you're using a supported platform (macOS or Linux). If you're on a supported platform and still getting this error, the binary might be missing from the package.

"Binary is not executable" Error

Run the following command to make the binary executable:

chmod +x ./node_modules/helicone-router/dist/helicone-router-*

"Node.js version" Error

Upgrade to Node.js version 16 or higher:

# Using nvm
nvm install 16
nvm use 16

# Or download from https://nodejs.org/
