Install the command-line tool

Install the Rinhelp CLI on macOS or Linux.

Install rinhelp to use your workspace from a terminal. You need a Rinhelp account to sign in.

Requirements

• macOS or Linux.
• Node.js 22 or later.
• curl, mktemp, and awk.
• sha256sum or shasum for the download check.
• A writable directory on your PATH.

The installer supports x86_64, amd64, arm64, and aarch64 CPUs.

Install

Run:

curl -fsSL https://rinhelp.com/install-cli | bash

The installer verifies the download and installs rinhelp in the first writable directory on your PATH. It does not use sudo or edit shell profiles.

If no directory on your PATH is writable, set RINHELP_INSTALL_DIR to an existing writable directory that is already on PATH:

export RINHELP_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin"
curl -fsSL https://rinhelp.com/install-cli | bash

Open a new shell if your own shell setup needs it, then check the command:

rinhelp --help

Sign in

Run:

rinhelp login

The CLI opens a browser sign-in. Approve access for Rinhelp, then return to the terminal. The CLI saves your sign-in on this computer. If it asks you to sign in again, run rinhelp login.

Run rinhelp logout to remove the saved credential. For a script or CI job, RINHELP_ACCESS_TOKEN can provide an access token without browser login. You must replace an environment token when it expires.

If the installer returns CLI installer is unavailable, the download is not available. Try again later.
