The cross-platform Tabular Editor CLI (`te`) — a single self-contained binary for Windows, macOS and Linux that inspects, edits, validates, deploys, refreshes and tests Power BI and Analysis Services semantic models, with structured JSON/CSV/TMDL output and safe-by-default preview diffs. Distinct from Tabular Editor 2's TabularEditor.exe. Use when the user mentions: te CLI, Tabular Editor CLI, te auth login, te bpa run, te deploy, te refresh, te test run, te vertipaq, te diff, te script…

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

# Tabular Editor CLI (`te`)

`te` is a single self-contained binary that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, built on the
same engine as Tabular Editor 3. It is the first way to do real semantic-model work — BPA,
deploy, refresh, VertiPaq analysis, assertion tests — from a Linux CI runner without a
Windows agent and without .NET Framework.

**Three different products, do not confuse them:**

| Tool | Executable | Platform | This skill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tabular Editor 2 | `TabularEditor.exe` | Windows only, free | no — `powerbi-te2-cli` |
| Tabular Editor 3 | `TabularEditor3.exe` | Windows GUI, licensed | no — see `powerbi-te-docs` |
| **Tabular Editor CLI** | `te` | Windows / macOS / Linux | **yes** |

Flags and scripts are not portable between them. A TE2 invocation (`-A`, `-D`, `-S`, `-B`)
will not work here; `te` uses verb-based subcommands.

## Status — check this first

`te` is in **Limited Public Preview**. During the preview no licence is required, only a
Tabular Editor account — but **the preview build stops working after 2026-10-31**, and
licensing will be required at general availability.

Consequences to state before anyone builds on it:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add santoshkanthety/powerbi-agent/powerbi-te-cli@sha256:c5060bdda17cc6ef

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.504c1f5, 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.
