Use this page when you have IDYL access and want to start from the terminal.

​
1. Install the CLI

Choose the install path for your operating system.
Add the IDYL Homebrew tap, then install the CLI:
brew tap idyl-labs/tap
brew install --cask idyl-labs/tap/idyl
You can also use the install script:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/idyl-labs/cli/main/install.sh | sh
Verify the installation: 
idyl version

​
2. Log in

idyl login
The CLI authenticates your session and saves the context used by later commands.

​
3. Check the active context

idyl whoami
Review the active account, profile, namespace, and subnet before running commands that create or change resources.

​
4. Select a namespace and subnet

If the active values are not the ones you want to use, update the context: 
idyl context edit --set-namespace <namespace>
idyl context edit --set-subnet <subnet>
Commands that accept --namespace or --subnet can also override the saved context for one command.
