Installation

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or later
• An active BuildBear account — sign up at app.buildbear.io/signup

Install via npm

npm install -g buildbear

After installation, verify it works:

buildbear --version

Install via script (macOS / Linux)

A one-line install script is available for shells that have curl:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BuildBearLabs/buildbear-cli/main/install.sh | bash

This downloads the latest release binary and places it in /usr/local/bin.

Verify the installation

buildbear --help

You should see the top-level help listing all available command groups.

Next step

Once installed, authenticate with your BuildBear API key:

buildbear auth setup

See Authentication for the full walkthrough.
