📦 Installation

npm / npx (Recommended)

Most developers already have Node.js - run infer without installing anything. npx downloads the matching native binary on first use:

npx @inference-gateway/cli@0.188.0 --help
npx @inference-gateway/cli@0.188.0 chat

Or install it globally:

npm install -g @inference-gateway/cli@0.188.0
infer --help

Not recommended for production - prefer the install script, container image, or Nix flake below.

Quick Install (Install Script)

Install the latest version using our install script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inference-gateway/cli/main/install.sh | bash

Or install a specific version:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inference-gateway/cli/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v0.188.0

Custom installation directory:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inference-gateway/cli/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-dir $HOME/.local/bin

Nix Flake

Run directly without installing:

nix run github:inference-gateway/cli/v0.188.0
