Installing the YDB CLI
To install the YDB CLI, run the command:
curl -sSL https://install.ydb.tech/cli | bash
The script will install the YDB CLI and add the executable file path to the PATH environment variable. It will also generate shell completion files and print instructions on how to enable tab completion for commands and options.
Note
The script will update the PATH variable only if you run it in the bash or zsh command shell. If you run the script in a different shell, add the path to the CLI to the PATH variable yourself.
Shell completion for bash requires the bash-completion package to be installed.
Tip
If you use a non-standard shell configuration, you can source the generated completion files from any rc file. The files are located at ~/.local/share/ydb/completion.bash.inc and ~/.local/share/ydb/completion.zsh.inc, and are kept up to date automatically by ydb update.
To update the environment variables, restart the command shell.
