Installation
Install the BuildShare CLI tool to seamlessly distribute Android and iOS builds, manage app testing, and share OTA install links.
Installation
The BuildShare CLI is published to the npm registry. It requires Node.js 18.0.0 or higher.
We recommend installing the CLI globally if you intend to use it across multiple projects on your local machine. For CI/CD environments, using npx is preferred to ensure you always run the latest version.
Install the CLI
Choose your preferred package manager to install the CLI globally, or use it on-demand via npx.
npm install -g buildshareyarn global add buildsharepnpm add -g buildshare# No installation required. Runs the latest version automatically.
npx buildshare --helpVerify Installation
Run the following command to verify that the CLI was installed successfully and is available in your system's PATH.
buildshare --versionIf it prints the version number (e.g. v1.2.0), you're good to go!
What's Next?
Once the CLI is installed, you need to authenticate your machine with your BuildShare account.
