Installing Alpic CLI

Install the CLI globally with npm or pnpm:

npm install -g alpic
# or
pnpm add -g alpic

Run it without installing via npx:

npx alpic <command>

Authentication

The CLI supports two authentication methods: browser-based login and API key.

alpic login

Opens a browser window to authenticate. Tokens are stored locally and reused across sessions.

API key

Set the ALPIC_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate without a browser:

Get your API key

In the Alpic dashboard, open your team and go to API Keys in the sidebar. Click New API key, name it, and copy the key.

Set the environment variable

Export the key in your shell or add it to your CI/CD secrets:

export ALPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

If both OAuth login credentials and ALPIC_API_KEY are present, the CLI uses ALPIC_API_KEY.

Keep your API key secure and never commit it to version control. If exposed, revoke it in the dashboard and create a new one.

Checking the version

alpic --version

Prints the installed CLI version.
