Install the CLI
Install the Dropstone CLI on macOS, Linux, or Windows with one command, sign in, and check it works. Upgrading and uninstalling.
One command per platform. Nothing else to configure.
macOS
Homebrew:
brew tap blankline-org/dropstone-cli
brew install dropstone
Or the install script:
curl -fsSL https://dropstone.io/install | bash
Linux
curl -fsSL https://dropstone.io/install | bash
Builds are available for both glibc and musl (Alpine) systems, and for x64 and arm64. The script picks the right one.
Windows
In PowerShell:
irm https://dropstone.io/install.ps1 | iex
Windows on ARM is supported. For using the CLI under WSL, see the CLI documentation.
Sign in
dropstone login
This opens your browser to sign in, then returns to the terminal. It is the same account as chat and the dashboard, so if you already have one, sign in with it and your memory is there. See Create an account and sign in.
Check it works
dropstone --version
dropstone
The first prints the version. The second starts an interactive session in the current directory.
Upgrade
From inside the CLI:
dropstone upgrade
Or, if you installed with Homebrew, brew upgrade dropstone. The CLI tells you when a new version is available. What changed in each version is in the release notes.
Uninstall
dropstone uninstall
Or brew uninstall dropstone for Homebrew installs. This removes the CLI from your machine. It does not affect your account, your memory, or anything on other surfaces.
Trouble installing
The CLI troubleshooting page at docs.dropstone.io covers platform-specific problems: Gatekeeper on macOS, execution policy on Windows, PATH issues on Linux.
