Stellar CLI v23.4.0

We're excited to announce Stellar CLI v23.4.0! This release focuses on improving the installation experience, enhancing error messages, and giving you more control over your CLI configuration.

🚀 Highlights

Easier Installation with One-Line Install Script

Getting started with Stellar CLI is now easier than ever! We've added a new installation script that automatically detects your platform and installs the latest version with a single command:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/stellar/stellar-cli/install.sh | sh

The installer supports multiple installation modes:

  • System-wide installation (default): Installs to /usr/local/bin
  • User installation (--user flag): Installs to ~/.local/bin without requiring sudo
  • Custom directory (--dir flag): Install anywhere you want

This provides a simpler alternative to package managers, especially for Linux users.

Better Configuration Management

You now have complete control over your CLI defaults with new unset commands:

  • stellar keys unset - Remove your default identity when you want to work without a preset account
  • stellar network unset - Clear your default network configuration

These commands make it easy to reset your environment and work more flexibly across different contexts.

Address Encoding & Decoding with strkey Command

You can now encode and decode Stellar addresses directly from the CLI with the new stellar strkey command. This is particularly useful when you need to extract and work with the raw payloads within Stellar addresses.

Clearer Error Messages

We've improved error reporting to help you troubleshoot issues faster:

  • Ledger device errors now provide specific, actionable error messages instead of generic failures, making it much easier to diagnose and fix common issues
  • Account funding errors are now properly reported when using --fund with stellar keys generate, so you'll immediately know if friendbot is unavailable

Installation

Get the latest version using our new installer:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/stellar/stellar-cli/install.sh | sh

Or upgrade using your preferred package manager.
