Installation
Install via Homebrew (macOS/Linux)¶
The Arduino CLI is available as a Homebrew formula since version 0.5.0:
brew update
brew install arduino-cli
Command line completion¶
Command line completion files are already bundled in the homebrew installation.
Use the install script¶
The script requires sh. This is always available on Linux and macOS. sh is not available by default on Windows. The
script may be run on Windows by installing Git for Windows, then running it from Git Bash.
This script will install the latest version of Arduino CLI to $PWD/bin:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/master/install.sh | sh
If you want to target a different directory, for example ~/local/bin, set the BINDIR environment variable like this:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/master/install.sh | BINDIR=~/local/bin sh
If you would like to use the arduino-cli command from any location, install Arduino CLI to a directory already in your
PATH or add the Arduino CLI installation path to your PATH environment variable.
If you want to download a specific arduino-cli version, for example 0.9.0, pass the version number as a parameter like
this:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/master/install.sh | sh -s 0.9.0
Download¶
Pre-built binaries for all the supported platforms are available for download from the links below.
If you would like to use the arduino-cli command from any location, extract the downloaded file to a directory already
in your PATH or add the Arduino CLI installation path to your PATH environment variable.

Nightly builds¶
These builds are generated every day at 01:00 GMT from the master branch and should be considered unstable. In order
to get the latest nightly build available for the supported platform, use the following links:
| Platform | ||
|---|---|---|
| Linux | Nightly Linux 32 bit | Nightly Linux 64 bit |
| Linux ARM | Nightly Linux ARM 32 bit | Nightly Linux ARM 64 bit |
| Windows | Nightly Windows 32 bit | Nightly Windows 64 bit |
| Mac OSX | Nightly Mac OSX |
These links return a
302: Foundresponse, redirecting to latest generated builds by replacinglatestwith the latest available build date, using the format YYYYMMDD (i.e for 2019/Aug/06latestis replaced with20190806)
Checksums for the nightly builds are available at

Build from source¶
If you’re familiar with Golang or if you want to contribute to the project, you will probably build the arduino-cli
locally with your Go toolchain. Please refer to the CONTRIBUTING document for setup instructions.
If you don’t have a working Golang environment or if you want to build arduino-cli targeting different platforms, you
can use Task to get a binary directly from sources. From the project folder run:
task dist:all
Once the build is over, you will find a ./dist/ folder containing the packages built out of the current source tree.
