Install CLI

The getmyenv CLI runs through npx. You do not need a global install. Every command in the docs starts with npx getmyenv.

npx getmyenv --help

The first run downloads the CLI into your npx cache. Subsequent runs use the cached binary.

The CLI npm package is getmyenv (always latest; no version pin).

• Node.js 20 or newer
• A getmyenv account (free to create)
• A modern terminal (macOS, Linux, or Windows)

Check your Node version with node --version. If you are on an older release, upgrade before continuing.

Open the dashboard, go to CLI, and create a token. Then run npx getmyenv login and paste it once. The CLI saves it on your machine. Login may offer to run migrate next. You can also skip login: migrate and other commands ask for the token when needed and save it the same way.

npx getmyenv login
npx getmyenv link
# or: npx getmyenv migrate
npx getmyenv run -- npm start

CI may set GETMYENV_TOKEN without login. Day-to-day use does not need shell env syntax.

The CLI talks to https://getmyenv.com by default. For a local app, pass --api-url or save it during login: npx getmyenv login --api-url http://localhost:3000.

npx getmyenv login --api-url http://localhost:3000
npx getmyenv status --api-url http://localhost:3000
