Installation

Get the CoinPaprika CLI installed on your system in under a minute.

​
Quick install

The fastest way to install is using the official install script, which automatically detects your platform and downloads the latest release: 
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coinpaprika/coinpaprika-cli/main/install.sh | sh
This script works on Linux, macOS, and Windows (Git Bash/WSL). It installs to ~/.local/bin by default.

​
What the installer does

1

Detect your platform

The script identifies your operating system (Linux, macOS, Windows) and architecture (x86_64, aarch64).
2

Download the latest release

It fetches the latest binary from the GitHub releases page matching your platform.
3

Install to your system

The binary is extracted and moved to ~/.local/bin (or /usr/local/bin with sudo if needed).
4

Verify PATH configuration

The installer checks if the installation directory is in your PATH and provides instructions if not.

​
Custom installation directory

You can override the default installation directory by setting the COINPAPRIKA_INSTALL_DIR environment variable: 
export COINPAPRIKA_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coinpaprika/coinpaprika-cli/main/install.sh | sh

​
Manual installation

If you prefer to install manually or the script doesn’t work for your system:
1

Download the release

Visit the releases page and download the archive for your platform:
  • Linux x86_64: coinpaprika-cli-vX.X.X-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
  • Linux aarch64: coinpaprika-cli-vX.X.X-linux-aarch64.tar.gz
  • macOS x86_64: coinpaprika-cli-vX.X.X-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
  • macOS aarch64: coinpaprika-cli-vX.X.X-darwin-aarch64.tar.gz
  • Windows: coinpaprika-cli-vX.X.X-windows-x86_64.zip
2

Extract the archive

tar xzf coinpaprika-cli-*.tar.gz
3

Move to PATH

Move the coinpaprika-cli binary to a directory in your PATH:
mv coinpaprika-cli ~/.local/bin/
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/coinpaprika-cli
4

Add to PATH if needed

If ~/.local/bin isn’t in your PATH, add this to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.):
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
Then reload your shell:
source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc

​
Verify installation

Confirm the CLI is installed correctly: 
coinpaprika-cli --version
You should see output like: 
coinpaprika-cli 0.1.7
Run coinpaprika-cli --help to see all available commands and options.

​
Build from source

If you want to build from source or contribute to development, you’ll need Rust installed:
1

Install Rust

If you don’t have Rust installed, get it from rustup.rs:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
2

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/coinpaprika/coinpaprika-cli.git
cd coinpaprika-cli
3

Build and install

cargo install --path .
This builds an optimized binary and installs it to ~/.cargo/bin/coinpaprika-cli.
4

Verify the build

coinpaprika-cli --version

​
Troubleshooting

​
Command not found

If you see command not found: coinpaprika-cli, your installation directory isn’t in your PATH. Add it to your shell profile: 
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

​
Permission denied

If you get permission errors during installation, either:
  • Use the default ~/.local/bin directory (no sudo needed)
  • Or install to /usr/local/bin with sudo:
sudo curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coinpaprika/coinpaprika-cli/main/install.sh | sh

​
Unsupported platform

The installer supports Linux, macOS, and Windows on x86_64 and aarch64. If your platform isn’t supported, try building from source.
