Golem CLI Introduction

Golem CLI is a command-line interface for interacting with Golem. Golem CLI allows users to upload their components, launch new workers based on these components and call functions on running workers.

Golem CLI versions

There are precompiled binaries of two variants of the CLI here:

• golem is the full version of the command line interface, including a locally runnable version of Golem itself.
• golem-cli is a lightweight version of the command line interface, requiring a running Golem cluster

In this documentation we will use the golem command in the snippets.

Installation

There are two ways to install any of the above described versions of Golem CLI:

• Downloading a precompiled platform-specific binary
• Installing from source using Rust tooling
