Nexmo CLI
Installation | Usage | Contributing | License
Installation
The Nexmo CLI requires Node.js 4 or above. If you don't have Node.js installed on your system, go to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and download the appropriate installer for your system.
With Node.js installed, you can then install the nexmo-cli
package from the npm registry.
npm install nexmo-cli -g # Using npm
yarn global add nexmo-cli # Using yarn
If you see an
EACCES
error when you try to install a package globally, follow the steps outlined at How to Prevent Permissions Errors.
After installation, set up the CLI with your Nexmo API key and secret:
> nexmo setup <api_key> <api_secret>
Credentials written to /Users/yourname/.nexmorc
This will save your credentials to ~/.nexmorc
. If you want to use different credentials per project, you can pass the --local
flag as follows:
> nexmo setup <api_key> <api_secret> --local
This will save the config to your local folder instead.
