Installation

Release binary

Download the archive for your platform from GitHub Releases, extract it, and place linear-cli on your PATH.

linear-cli version

Go install

The module's declared Go version is 1.26.2; use that version or a compatible newer toolchain when installing from source.

go install github.com/enolalab/linear-cli@latest
linear-cli version

Homebrew status

The repository does not currently configure a Homebrew tap or generate a formula. The historical brew install k0walski/tap/linear-cli instruction is therefore not a supported installation path. Use a release binary or go install until a tap is configured and published.

First command

Create a Linear personal API key in Linear Settings > API, then keep it in the environment for the command invocation:

export LINEAR_API_KEY=lin_api_your_key
linear-cli auth whoami
