Install the TestRelic CLI
Install the testrelic CLI on Linux, macOS, or Windows with a one-line script, and pin a release with environment variables.
The production installer drops testrelic (plus the tr and ask-ai shortcuts) into
~/.testrelic/bin, owns the command name, and adds it to your PATH. Supported targets:
Linux x86_64/arm64, macOS arm64/x86_64, and Windows x86_64.
Auto-update is on by default — the CLI keeps itself current, so a one-time install stays
up to date. Pin a specific release with TESTRELIC_VERSION (see below) if you'd rather
control upgrades yourself.
curl -fsSL https://testrelic.ai/install.sh | shVerify
testrelic --version
testrelic doctor # auth / MCP / terminal diagnosticsInstaller environment variables
| Variable | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
TESTRELIC_VERSION | latest | Pin a release tag, e.g. v0.2.0. |
TESTRELIC_INSTALL_DIR | ~/.testrelic/bin | Install location. |
TESTRELIC_DL_BASE | TestRelic releases bucket | Download host, for mirrors or air-gapped installs. |
TESTRELIC_DRY_RUN | unset | Set to 1 to print what would happen and exit. |
For example, to pin a version:
TESTRELIC_VERSION=v0.2.0 curl -fsSL https://testrelic.ai/install.sh | shThe `tr` shortcut on Unix
On Unix shells the tr shortcut shadows coreutils tr when the install directory precedes
the system PATH. Use the full testrelic name if that matters to you.
