Quick Start

Installation

Precompiled Binary (Recommended)

For the simplest and most reliable installation:

curl https://cli.nexus.xyz/ | sh

This will:

1. Download and install the latest precompiled binary for your platform
2. Prompt you to accept the Terms of Use
3. Start the CLI in interactive mode

Non-Interactive Installation

For automated installations (e.g., in CI):

curl -sSf https://cli.nexus.xyz/ -o install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
NONINTERACTIVE=1 ./install.sh

---

Terms of Use

Use of the CLI is subject to the Terms of Use. First-time users running interactively will be prompted to accept these terms.

---

Node ID

During the CLI's startup, you'll be asked for your node ID. To skip prompts in a non-interactive environment, manually create a ~/.nexus/config.json in the following format:

{
   "node_id": "<YOUR NODE ID>"
}
