# Install the Machina CLI

> Bridge into the full CLI guide — install, authenticate, and run your first command.

The Machina CLI is how you drive agents, workflows, and projects from your terminal or CI pipelines. It has its own dedicated section — the **CLI** tab — with the full guide and command reference.

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/machina-sports/machina-cli/main/install.sh | bash
# or: pip install machina-cli
```
