Installing Looker CLI
Checks if looker-cli is already available on the system. If it is not found, downloads and installs the appropriate pre-compiled binary from the GitHub Releases page of the looker-cli repository (https://github.com/looker-open-source/looker-cli/releases).
Prerequisites
- Active internet connection to download the binary from GitHub.
- Privileges to write to local binary directories (e.g.
/usr/local/binor
~/.local/bin).
Instructions
1. Check for Existing Installation
Before downloading, check if the CLI is already installed and accessible:
looker-cli --helpIf this command executes successfully and prints the help menu, the CLI is ready. Skip the installation steps below and proceed directly to Step 3 (Authentication).
2. Perform OS-Specific Installation
If looker-cli is not found, determine the operating system of the environment and execute the corresponding installation steps.
Option A: macOS & Linux
- Retrieve latest release tag: Query the GitHub API or check the releases
page (https://github.com/looker-open-source/looker-cli/releases) to identify the latest version tag (e.g., v1.0.0).
- Download and install: Run the following sequence to download, rename,
and move the binary to your local bin path:
For macOS (arm64 Apple Silicon):
curl -Lo looker-cli https://github.com/looker-open-source/looker-cli/releases/latest/download/looker-cli-darwin-arm64
chmod +x looker-cli
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin && mv looker-cli ~/.local/bin/For macOS (amd64 Intel):
curl -Lo looker-cli https://github.com/looker-open-source/looker-cli/releases/latest/download/looker-cli-darwin-amd64
chmod +x looker-cli
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin && mv looker-cli ~/.local/bin/For Linux (amd64):
curl -Lo looker-cli https://github.com/looker-open-source/looker-cli/releases/latest/download/looker-cli-linux-amd64
chmod +x looker-cli
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin && mv looker-cli ~/.local/bin/Note: If `~/.local/bin` is not in your `PATH` or you have root permissions, you can choose to move it to `/usr/local/bin/` instead.
Option B: Windows
- Download: Download the latest Windows binary (e.g. using PowerShell):
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/looker-open-source/looker-cli/releases/latest/download/looker-cli-windows-amd64.exe" -OutFile "looker-cli.exe"- Add to Path: Move
looker-cli.exeto a directory in your system
%PATH% (or add its directory to the Environment Variables).
3. Verify the Installation
Run the help command again to verify the installation succeeded:
looker-cli --helpConfirm that the output shows the Looker CLI help menu correctly. If it fails, check that the destination directory is indeed in your shell's PATH.
