# Unbound CLI

> Install and manage the Unbound AI Gateway from your terminal

The Unbound CLI (`unbound`) lets you authenticate, configure AI coding tools, manage policies, inspect usage, and administer your organization — all without leaving the terminal.

## Installation

Requires **Node.js 18+**.

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g unbound-cli
```

Verify:

```bash theme={null}
unbound --version
```

Both `unbound` and `unbound-cli` are installed and point to the same binary. If `unbound` resolves to a different program, see [CLI Path Conflicts](/support/troubleshooting/cli-path-errors).

Credentials and URL settings are stored at `~/.unbound/config.json`, created automatically on first login.
