Install the CLI

The alk CLI is the entry point to Alkaia. Install it globally with your package manager of choice.

Requirements

  • Node.js 20 or later
  • An AWS account (you’ll connect it in the next step)

Install

Terminal window
npm install -g @alkaia-cloud/cli

Or with pnpm:

Terminal window
pnpm add -g @alkaia-cloud/cli

Verify the installation

Terminal window
alk --version

You should see the version number printed. If you get a “command not found” error, make sure your global npm bin directory is on your PATH.

Next step

Continue with Authenticate to AWS.
