Learn how to install Apify CLI using installation scripts, Homebrew, or NPM.

Installation scripts

MacOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash

Windows

irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex

:::tip No need for Node.js

If you install Apify CLI using our installation scripts, you don't need Node.js. The scripts use Bun to create a standalone executable file.

This approach eliminates Node.js dependency management, which is useful for Python developers or users working in non-Node.js environments.

:::

Homebrew

brew install apify-cli

:::tip Homebrew and Node.js dependency

When you install Apify CLI using Homebrew, it automatically installs Node.js as a dependency. If you already have Node.js installed through another method (e.g., nvm), this may create version conflicts.

If you experience Node.js version conflicts, modify your PATH environment variable to prioritize your preferred Node.js installation over Homebrew's version.

:::

NPM

First, make sure you have Node.js version 22 or higher with NPM installed on your computer:

node --version
npm --version

Install or upgrade Apify CLI by running:

npm install -g apify-cli

:::tip Troubleshooting

If you receive a permission error, read npm's official guide on installing packages globally.

:::

Verify installation

You can verify the installation process by running the following command:

apify --version

The output should resemble the following (exact details like version or platform may vary):

apify-cli/1.0.1 (0dfcfd8) running on darwin-arm64 with bun-1.2.19 (emulating node 24.3.0), installed via bundle

Upgrading

Upgrading Apify CLI is as simple as running the following command:

apify upgrade
