Install the Seedfast CLI

The Seedfast CLI is a single binary that runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Once installed, every Seedfast feature — seeding, connecting databases, MCP integration — is available from your terminal.

Install the CLI#

The recommended way to install on macOS and Linux is via Homebrew. It handles updates automatically and keeps the binary on your PATH with no extra configuration.

Homebrew (macOS / Linux):

brew install argon-it/tap/seedfast

On Windows — or if you prefer not to use Homebrew — install globally via npm. This works on any platform that has Node.js available.

npm (all platforms):

npm install -g seedfast

Once installed, verify everything is working:

seedfast --version

You should see the current version number printed in your terminal. If you get a "command not found" error, run npm bin -g to find where npm installs global binaries and make sure that path is in your PATH.
