CLI Installation

Install the OpenPost CLI when you want to manage a running OpenPost instance from a terminal or automation job.

Other operating systems and architectures do not have a maintained release binary.

Install from GitHub Releases

The install script downloads the latest matching openpost-cli-* release asset and installs it as openpost:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getopenpost/openpost/main/scripts/install-cli.sh | sh

It supports Linux on amd64 and arm64, and macOS on Apple Silicon (arm64). To install the desktop MCP stdio proxy at the same time:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getopenpost/openpost/main/scripts/install-cli.sh | sh -s -- --with-mcp

That installs the matching openpost-mcp-* release asset as openpost-mcp.

Manual Install

Download the matching CLI binary from GitHub Releases, then put it on your PATH.

chmod +x openpost-cli-linux-amd64
sudo mv openpost-cli-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/openpost
openpost --version

For MCP clients, also download the matching openpost-mcp-* asset and put it on your PATH as openpost-mcp.

Build from Source

From the repository root:

devenv shell -- bash -lc 'cd cli && go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o ../openpost ./cmd/openpost'

Or from inside cli/:

go build ./cmd/openpost

First Run

openpost instance add local http://localhost:8080
openpost instance use local
openpost auth login http://localhost:8080
openpost workspace list
openpost workspace use personal

For every command and flag, see the generated CLI reference.
