Installation

The slothbox CLI lets you sign in to Slothbox and manage your environments from the terminal. It ships as a single static binary — no Node, no Python, no runtime prerequisites of any kind.

curl -fsSL https://slothbox.dev/install.sh | sh

This drops the binary at ~/.local/bin/slothbox. If that directory isn't on your PATH, the installer prints the export line to add to your shell profile.

Two environment variables tune the install:

  • SLOTHBOX_INSTALL_DIR — install somewhere other than ~/.local/bin.
  • VERSION — pin a specific release tag (for example VERSION=v0.1.0) instead of the latest.

Pointing at another environment​

By default the CLI talks to the production API at api.slothbox.dev. Set SLOTHBOX_API_URL to target a staging or local deployment:

SLOTHBOX_API_URL=http://localhost:3000 slothbox login
