# Cloud Foundry CLI [](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/releases/latest) [](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/cf-cli) [](https://cli.cloudfoundry.org) [](https://slack.cloudfoundry.org) [](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/blob/master/LICENSE) [](https://codeclimate.com/github/cloudfoundry/cli)

Cloud Foundry CLI is the official command line client for Cloud Foundry. Latest help of each command is here (or run cf help); Further documentation is at the docs page for the CLI.

If you have any questions, ask away on the #cli channel in our Slack community and the cf-dev mailing list, or open a GitHub issue. You can follow our development progress on Pivotal Tracker.

Once installed, you can log in and push an app.

$ echo "deb http://packages.cloudfoundry.org/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudfoundry-cli.list
# ...then, update your local package index, then finally install the cf CLI
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install cf-cli

Enterprise Linux and Fedora systems (RHEL6/CentOS6 and up):

# ...first configure the Cloud Foundry Foundation package repository
$ sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudfoundry-cli.repo https://packages.cloudfoundry.org/fedora/cloudfoundry-cli.repo

Download examples with curl for Mac OS X and Linux binaries

# ...download & extract Mac OS X binary
$ curl -L "https://cli.run.pivotal.io/stable?release=macosx64-binary&source=github" | tar -zx
# ...or Linux 64-bit binary
$ curl -L "https://cli.run.pivotal.io/stable?release=linux64-binary&source=github" | tar -zx
# ...move it to /usr/local/bin or a location you know is in your $PATH
$ mv cf /usr/local/bin
# ...and to confirm your cf CLI version
$ cf --version
cf version x.y.z+...

Edge binaries

Edge binaries are not intended for wider use; they're for developers to test new features and fixes as they are 'pushed' and passed through the CI. Follow these download links for Mac OS X 64 bit, Windows 64 bit and Linux 64 bit.

Known Issues

• In Cygwin and Git Bash on Windows, interactive password prompts (in cf login) do not work (see issue #171). Please use alternative commands (cf api and cf auth to cf login) to work around this.
• API tracing to terminal (using CF_TRACE=true, -v option or cf config --trace) doesn't work well with some CLI plugin commands. Trace to file works fine. On Linux, CF_TRACE=/dev/stdout works too. See e.g. this Diego-Enabler plugin issue.
• .cfignore used in cf push must be in UTF8 encoding for CLI to interpret correctly.
• On Linux, when encountering message "bash: .cf: No such file or directory", ensure that you're using the correct binary or installer for your architecture. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/133389/no-such-file-or-directory-but-the-file-exists

Filing Issues & Feature Requests

First, update to the latest cli and try the command again.

If the error remains or feature still missing, check the open issues and if not already raised please file a new issue with the requested details.
