Bolna CLI quickstart

Step 1: Install the CLI

Requires Go installed locally.

go install github.com/bolna-ai/cli/cmd/bolna@latest

See Installation for building from source instead, and for fixing a macOS Gatekeeper warning if you hit one.

bolna version

Step 2: Authenticate

bolna login

You’ll be prompted for your Bolna API key — grab one from the Bolna Dashboard → Developers → API Keys. The key is validated live, then stored in your OS’s native credential store.

You can skip this step. Run any command that needs auth — including bare bolna — and it offers to log you in right there, then continues into what you originally asked for.

Step 3: Enable autocompletion (optional)

Enable autocompletion to get command and flag suggestions with Tab and prevent typos.

You’re all set!
