Install the SecretHub CLI

To install the CLI using Homebrew, run:

brew install secrethub/tools/secrethub-cli

Download the latest Darwin amd64 release.

To install, extract it to a directory of your choosing, for example:

mkdir -p /usr/local/secrethub
tar -C /usr/local/secrethub -xzf secrethub-vx.x.x-os-architecture.tar.gz

Note: depending on your OS configuration, you may need root privileges to write to the /usr/local directory.

Ensure the binary is accessible by symlinking to it from a directory that is on your PATH environment variable, for example:

ln -s /usr/local/secrethub/bin/secrethub /usr/local/bin/secrethub

To install the CLI with apt-get, add the SecretHub repository to your sources.list:

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://apt.secrethub.io stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/secrethub.sources.list && apt-get update

Then, use apt-get install to install the CLI:

apt-get install -y secrethub-cli

Shorthand

You can also use this one-liner instead:

curl https://apt.secrethub.io | bash

To install the CLI using yum, first add the SecretHub repo to your /etc/yum/repos.d:

curl https://yum.secrethub.io/secrethub.repo -o /etc/yum/repos.d/secrethub.repo --create-dirs

Then, install the CLI like any other yum package:

yum install secrethub-cli

Shorthand

You can also use this one-liner instead:

curl https://yum.secrethub.io | bash

Or you can link to the GitHub release directly, but you won’t be able to automatically yum update later on:

yum install https://github.com/secrethub/secrethub-cli/releases/download/v0.42.0/secrethub-v0.42.0-linux-amd64.rpm

You can install the CLI from our Alpine repository using this one-liner:

apk add --repository https://alpine.secrethub.io/alpine/edge/main --allow-untrusted secrethub-cli

To install the CLI on Debian/Ubuntu, download the latest Debian amd64 release and install it with dpkg:

curl -sLJO https://deb.secrethub.io/amd64
dpkg -i secrethub-cli-amd64.deb
rm secrethub-cli-amd64.deb

To update the CLI, you can just re-run this command.

For other architectures or earlier versions, see the complete list of CLI releases.

Use your favorite AUR helper to install the secrethub-cli package. For example:

yay -S secrethub-cli

Download the latest amd64 release. For other architectures, see the complete list of CLI releases.

To install, extract it to a directory of your choosing, for example:

mkdir -p /usr/local/secrethub
tar -C /usr/local/secrethub -xzf secrethub-vx.x.x-os-architecture.tar.gz

Note: depending on your OS configuration, you may need root privileges to write to the /usr/local directory.

Ensure the binary is accessible by symlinking to it from a directory that is on your PATH environment variable, for example:

ln -s /usr/local/secrethub/bin/secrethub /usr/local/bin/secrethub

On Windows, you can install the CLI using a standard Windows installer. Download the latest amd64 .msi file and follow the installation wizard.

For other architectures, see the complete list of CLI releases.

To install the CLI using Scoop, first add the SecretHub bucket:

scoop bucket add secrethub https://github.com/secrethub/scoop-secrethub

Afterwards, run this to actually install the CLI:

scoop install secrethub-cli

To download and install the secrethub CLI, run the following in Powershell as an Administrator:

iwr https://get.secrethub.io/windows | iex

And you’re done.

Note: this works for Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, and upwards. For older operating systems (e.g. Windows Server 2008 R2), use the equivalent more verbose command:

(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString("https://get.secrethub.io/windows") | iex

Download the latest amd64 release. For other architectures, see the complete list of CLI releases.

To install, extract it to a directory of your choosing and ensure the directory is on your PATH.

To install the CLI with NPM, run:

npm install -g @secrethub/cli

You can also include the CLI as a dev dependency to your project:

npm install --save-dev @secrethub/cli

Global install as root

To do a global install as root, you have to run NPM with the unsafe-perm setting. You can do this by using the --unsafe-perm flag:

npm install -g --unsafe-perm @secrethub/cli

Or by updating your NPM config:

npm config set unsafe-perm true
npm install -g @secrethub/cli

To build the CLI yourself, you just need Go and GNU Make installed:

git clone https://github.com/secrethub/secrethub-cli
cd secrethub-cli
make build

You can then place the secrethub binary in a directory on your PATH, e.g. /usr/bin/.

You can also choose to run the CLI as an isolated Docker container instead.

docker run -it -v $HOME/.secrethub:/root/.secrethub secrethub/cli

And optionally create an alias for it:

alias secrethub='docker run -it -v $HOME/.secrethub:/root/.secrethub secrethub/cli'

Note: some features of the CLI may not be available by default in Docker, like writing to the clipboard with the --clip flag or piping a secret to the write command.

We will add more package managers soon.

Some that are on our whishlist:

• choco
• pacman
