Yalla CLI

The Yalla CLI is the simplest way for developers to interact with Yalla from the terminal or perform automated actions from pipelines.

Quick Install (Recommended)

macOS / Linux

bash << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
set -e
echo "Installing Yalla CLI..."
OS=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
ARCH=$(uname -m)
case "${OS}_${ARCH}" in
  darwin_arm64)  PLATFORM="darwin_arm64" ;;
  darwin_x86_64) PLATFORM="darwin_amd64" ;;
  linux_x86_64)  PLATFORM="linux_amd64" ;;
  linux_aarch64) PLATFORM="linux_arm64" ;;
  *) echo "Unsupported: ${OS}_${ARCH}"; exit 1 ;;
esac
echo "Platform: ${PLATFORM}"
VERSION="533eeed9"
curl -fsSL \
  "https://dml.bpglobal.com/artifactory/bp-yalla-images-release-local/cli_${PLATFORM}/cli-${PLATFORM//_/-}-${VERSION}" \
  -o /tmp/yalla
chmod +x /tmp/yalla
sudo mv /tmp/yalla /usr/local/bin/yalla
echo "Updating..."
yalla update || true
echo "Done!"
yalla --version
EOF

The script auto-detects your platform, downloads the CLI, and updates to the latest version. No manual steps required!

Windows

warning

Windows support is limited. We recommend using WSL and installing the Linux binary instead.

1. Download the binary from:

https://dml.bpglobal.com/artifactory/bp-yalla-images-release-local/cli_windows_amd64/cli-windows-amd64-533eeed9

2. Rename the downloaded file (e.g. cli-windows-amd64-533eeed9) to yalla.exe

3. Add to PATH — open PowerShell and run:

$installDir = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\yalla"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $installDir | Out-Null
Move-Item yalla.exe "$installDir\yalla.exe" -Force
$userPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "User")
if ($userPath -notlike "*$installDir*") {
    [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "$userPath;$installDir", "User")
}

4. Restart your terminal, then verify it works:

yalla --help

Uninstall

macOS / Linux

rm -f /usr/local/bin/yalla ~/.local/bin/yalla
rm -rf ~/.yalla
echo "Yalla CLI uninstalled"

Troubleshooting

1. command not found: yalla

   Restart your terminal, or run:

   export PATH="/usr/local/bin:${HOME}/.local/bin:$PATH"

2. Download failed

   Ensure you're on bp network or VPN. Try logging into https://dml.bpglobal.com in your browser first.

3. Permission denied
