Installs and authenticates rudder-cli. Use when installing rudder-cli, setting up rudder cli, rudder-cli command not found, or authenticating with RudderStack.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Rudder CLI Setup
Install rudder-cli, authenticate with RudderStack, and verify the setup works.
## Setup Workflow
```
1. Check Installation ──► command -v rudder-cli, then ~/.local/bin
│
├── Found ──► Skip to Authentication
│
└── Not Found ──► Install the latest release into ~/.local/bin
│
2. Verify Installation ◄────────────┘
│
└── rudder-cli --version
3. Check Authentication ──► rudder-cli workspace info --json
│
├── Authenticated ──► Done! Show workspace info
│
└── Not Authenticated ──► RUDDERSTACK_ACCESS_TOKEN (agents)
or rudder-cli auth login (people)
```
## Step 1: Check if Installed
```bash
command -v rudder-cli || ls "$HOME/.local/bin/rudder-cli"
```
**If `command -v` prints a path:** Skip to Step 3 (Authentication).
**If only `~/.local/bin/rudder-cli` exists:** An earlier install put it there, and that folder is not on PATH. Follow "If `~/.local/bin` is not on PATH" below, then skip to Step 3.
**If neither exists:** Continue to Step 2 (Installation).
## Step 2: Install rudder-cli
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills/rudder-cli-setup@sha256:da73878afa784678The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.36f6950, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
