Download, sign in, and see what's available

Get the CLI ready so you can install. You cannot install an environment that does not exist yet, so step three is finding out what you have access to.

‍

Step 1 - Download

Download the CLI binary for your platform at solsta.io/download

On macOS and Ubuntu, grant execute permissions before running. Windows requires no extra steps.

chmod +x /path/to/solsta_cli

‍

Step 2 - Sign In

How you authenticate depends on your situation.

‍

Joining an existing organization

Accept your invitation, then sign in. A browser window will open for your org credentials.

solsta_cli login prompt

‍

Creating a new organization

Set up your organization in the Solsta Desktop Application first, then sign in here.

solsta_cli login prompt

‍

CI/CD or unattended machines

Generate Machine Credentials in the Solsta Desktop Application, then authenticate without a browser.

solsta_cli login client_credentials \
 --client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
 --client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

M2M tokens expire after 24 hours. User tokens stay active as long as the CLI is used at least once every 30 days.

Step 3 - See What's Available

List the products and environments your account has access to. These commands give you the exact names needed for install. Names are case-sensitive.

solsta_cli product read

solsta_cli env read --product_name=YourProductName

solsta_cli local read

Once you have your product and environment names, head to Core Commands to continue.
