Installation
Learn about the different methods available to install `sentry-cli`.
Depending on your platform, there are different methods available to install sentry-cli
.
You can find the list of releases on the GitHub release page. We provide executables for Linux, OS X and Windows. It’s a single file download and upon receiving the file you can rename it to just sentry-cli
or sentry-cli.exe
to use it.
If you are on OS X or Linux, you can use the automated downloader which will fetch the latest release version for you and install it:
curl -sL https://sentry.io/get-cli/ | sh
We do however, encourage you to pin the specific version of the CLI, so your builds are always reproducible. To do that, you can use the exact same method, with an additional version specifier:
curl -sL https://sentry.io/get-cli/ | SENTRY_CLI_VERSION="2.31.2" sh
This will automatically download the correct version of sentry-cli
for your operating system and install it. If necessary, it will prompt for your admin password for sudo
. For a different installation location or for systems without sudo
(like Windows), you can export INSTALL_DIR=/custom/installation/path
before running this command.
To verify it’s installed correctly you can bring up the help:
sentry-cli --help
There is also the option to install sentry-cli
via npm for specialized use cases. This, for instance, is useful for build servers. The package is called @sentry/cli
and in the post installation it will download the appropriate release binary:
npm install @sentry/cli
You can then find it in the .bin
folder:
./node_modules/.bin/sentry-cli --help
In case you want to install this with npm system wide with sudo you will need to pass -–unsafe-perm
to it:
sudo npm install -g @sentry/cli --unsafe-perm
This installation is not recommended however.
By default, this package will download sentry-cli from the CDN managed by Fastly. To use a custom CDN, set the npm config property sentrycli_cdnurl
. The downloader will append "/<version>/sentry-cli-<dist>"
.
npm install @sentry/cli --sentrycli_cdnurl=https://mymirror.local/path
Or add property into your .npmrc
file (https://docs.npmjs.com/files/npmrc)
sentrycli_cdnurl=https://mymirror.local/path
Another option is to use the environment variable SENTRYCLI_CDNURL
.
SENTRYCLI_CDNURL=https://mymirror.local/path npm install @sentry/cli
Options listed below control how sentry-cli
install script behaves, when installed through npm
.
SENTRYCLI_CDNURL
:
If set, the script will use given URL for fetching the binary. Defaults to https://downloads.sentry-cdn.com/sentry-cli
.
SENTRYCLI_USE_LOCAL
:
If set to 1
, sentry-cli
binary will be discovered from your $PATH
and copied locally instead of being downloaded from external servers. It will still verify the version number, which has to match.
SENTRYCLI_SKIP_DOWNLOAD
:
If set to 1
, the script will skip downloading the binary completely.
SENTRYCLI_SKIP_CHECKSUM_VALIDATION
:
If set to 1
, the script will skip the checksum validation phase. You can manually verify the checksums by visiting Build Checksums page.
SENTRYCLI_NO_PROGRESS_BAR
:
If set to 1
, the script will not display download progress bars. This is a default behavior for CI environments.
SENTRYCLI_LOG_STREAM
:
If set, the script will change where it writes its output. Possible values are stdout
and stderr
. Defaults to stdout
.
If you are on OS X, you can install sentry-cli
via homebrew:
brew install getsentry/tools/sentry-cli
If you are on Windows, you can install sentry-cli
via Scoop:
> scoop install sentry-cli
For unsupported distributions and CI systems, we offer a Docker image that comes with sentry-cli
preinstalled. It is recommended to use the latest
tag, but you can also pin to a specific version. By default, the command runs inside the /work
directory. Mount relevant project folders and build outputs there to allow sentry-cli
to scan for resources:
docker pull getsentry/sentry-cli
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/work getsentry/sentry-cli --help
You can use sentry-cli update
and sentry-cli uninstall
to update or uninstall the sentry-cli
binary. These commands may be unavailable in certain situations, generally when sentry-cli
has been installed by a tool like homebrew or yarn, either directly or as a dependency of another package. In those cases, the same tool will need to be used for updating and removal. If you find that sentry-cli update
and sentry-cli uninstall
aren't working and you don't know how the package was installed, running which sentry-cli
will often provide a clue as to which tool to use.
When downloading an executable from a remote server, it's often a good practice to verify, that what has been downloaded, is in fact what we expect it to be. To make sure that this is the case, we can use checksum validation. A checksum is the value calculated from the contents of a file, in a form of hash, in our case SHA256, and it acts as the data integrity check, as it's always producing the same output, for a given input.
Below is the table of SHA256 checksums for all available build targets that our CLI supports. To calculate the hash of a downloaded file, you can use sha256sum
utility, which is preinstalled in OSX and most Linux distributions.
