# Installing the Hasura CLI

## Installation - Mac & Linux

In your Terminal, run the following command:

```
curl -L https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/raw/stable/cli/get.sh | bash
```

This will install the Hasura CLI in `/usr/local/bin`. You might have to provide your `sudo` password depending on the permissions of your `/usr/local/bin` location.

If you’d prefer to install to a different location other than `/usr/local/bin`, set the env var `INSTALL_PATH`:

```
curl -L https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/raw/stable/cli/get.sh | INSTALL_PATH=$HOME/bin bash
```

{% hint style="info" %}
There is another way to [install Hasura via npm,](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/hasura-cli/install-hasura-cli.html) but if you managed to install with the steps above you already have the super-powers you need to start working with migrations.
{% endhint %}

### Installation - Windows

Download the binary `cli-hasura-windows-amd64.exe` available under `Assets` of the latest release from the GitHub release page: <https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/releases>

Rename the downloaded file to `hasura`. You can add the path to the environment variable `PATH` for making `hasura` accessible globally.

For more info, refer to their documentation:\
<https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/hasura-cli/install-hasura-cli.html>

### (Optional) Adding Hasura shell completion

If you want to hack the matrix, you may want to use autocomplete. The process is different for bash or zsh, so you will want to [read their documentation in more detail](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/hasura-cli/hasura_completion.html#hasura-completion).

**For Mac (bash), run this command:**

```
# 1. Install bash-completion using homebrew:
$ brew install bash-completion

# 2. Add to your ~/.bash_profile:
if [ -f $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion ]; then
   . $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion
fi

# 3. Add the completion file:
$ sudo hasura completion bash --file=$(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/hasura
```

#### For Zsh (oh-my-zsh):

```
$ mkdir -p $HOME/.oh-my-zsh/completions
$ hasura completion zsh --file=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/completions/_hasura
```
