Install the CLI
The eve CLI is your primary interface to the platform — the same tool used by both humans and AI agents.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 22+ — Check with
node --version. - Git — Check with
git --version.
Install via npm
npm install -g @eve-horizon/cli
Or with pnpm:
pnpm add -g @eve-horizon/cli
tip
If you encounter permission errors with npm install -g, see the npm docs on fixing global install permissions.
Verify the installation
eve --version
You should see a version number. If you get command not found, your global npm bin directory is not on your PATH — find it with npm bin -g and add it to your shell profile:
export PATH="$(npm bin -g):$PATH"
Check that the CLI is working:
eve --help
This shows the top-level command list. Every subcommand also supports --help:
eve job --help
eve project --help
Keep the CLI updated
npm update -g @eve-horizon/cli
Next steps
The CLI is installed. Next, connect to the platform and run your first job.
