# Install CLI

The Web IDE and Meta UI cover most workflows on their own, so the CLI is optional. Install it when you want one or more of these:

- A local terminal or editor attached to the cloud workspace over SSH.
- The cloud workspace opened in your local VS Code or Cursor.
- Scripted environment creation for CI or onboarding new teammates.
- File uploads from your laptop into the workspace.
- Repo registration and env var management from the command line.
- Runtime preview commands for exposing local app ports.

## Install TabTabTab:

```
curl -fsSL https://tabtabtab.ai/install.sh | sh
tabtabtab --help
ttt --help
```

## Log in:

```
tabtabtab auth login
# or: ttt auth login
```

The CLI stores its session under `~/.config/gv/config.json`. Clear the saved session and TabTabTab-managed SSH state with:

```
tabtabtab auth logout
```

If `install.sh` fails on your platform, email support@tabtabtab.ai with the OS and shell you're using.
