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 | shThe installer supports multiple installation modes:
- System-wide installation (default): Installs to
/usr/local/bin - User installation (
--userflag): Installs to~/.local/binwithout requiring sudo - Custom directory (
--dirflag): 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 accountstellar 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
--fundwithstellar keys generate, so you'll immediately know if friendbot is unavailable
