Installation

Install the Forte CLI and set up your development environment in a few minutes.

CLI is Optional

Most tasks — creating projects, deploying services, monitoring — can be done entirely from the web console. The CLI is useful for scripting, CI/CD integration, and local proxy testing.

Prerequisites

Install the CLI

Option 1: Homebrew (macOS & Linux)

bash
brew tap FortePlatforms/tap
brew install forte

To upgrade to the latest version:

bash
brew upgrade forte

Option 2: Shell Script (Linux, macOS & Windows)

bash
curl -fsSL https://tryforte.dev/install.sh | bash

This installs the forte binary to ~/.forte/bin and adds it to your PATH.

Windows users: Run this command in Git Bash, MSYS2, or WSL. For native PowerShell, use Option 3 below.

Option 3: Standalone Binary (Manual)

Download the latest binary for your platform from the GitHub releases page, rename it to forte (or forte.exe on Windows), and add it to your PATH.

Available binaries:

  • forte-linux-x64 — Linux (x86_64)
  • forte-linux-arm64 — Linux (ARM64)
  • forte-darwin-arm64 — macOS (Apple Silicon)
  • forte-darwin-x64 — macOS (Intel)
  • forte-windows-x64.exe — Windows (x86_64)
