The Marlow CLI

Install in one line.

Tickets to pull requests, from your terminal. Write tickets, watch runs stream by, and manage sandboxes and env vars — without leaving the shell.

macOS · Linux

$ curl -fsSL https://getmarlowai.com/install.sh | bash

No Node · No Bun · No npm — a single self-contained binary

One command: Detects your OS and CPU, pulls the matching native binary, and drops it on your PATH. macOS and Linux, Apple Silicon and Intel.
Verified: Binaries ship with a published SHA-256. The installer checks it before anything lands on disk and aborts on a mismatch — and warns loudly, rather than failing silently, if no checksum is published for a build.
Zero dependencies: The Bun runtime is baked into the binary. Nothing to install first — no Node, no Bun, no npm or bunx. Just run marlow.

Using it

From login to first run

Every command takes --json, and switches it on automatically when piped, so it drops straight into scripts. A failed run exits non-zero.

Opens your browser, mints a personal CLI token, and saves it to ~/.marlow/config.json. On a headless box, add --manual to paste a token instead.

terminal

$ marlow login

Submit work to a project. Add --agent to dispatch immediately and --watch to follow the run live as it streams steps.

terminal

$ marlow tickets create -p checkout-api \
    --title "Add CSV export to billing" \
    --agent coding-low --watch

List runs, open one for its step tree, or tail logs until it finishes.

terminal

$ marlow runs
$ marlow runs logs <id> --follow

Reference

marlow projects: List projects
marlow tickets create -p <project> --title <t>: Submit a ticket (--agent dispatches, --watch follows)
marlow runs [--status <s>]: List runs with status glyphs
marlow runs logs <id> --follow: Tail a run's logs until it finishes

marlow containers push --image <ref>: Push into your own registry with your docker login
marlow env set -p <project> KEY=VALUE: Create or update env vars (idempotent)
marlow env ls -p <project>: List env vars (secrets show a preview)

The installer honors a few environment variables — pin MARLOW_VERSION, redirect with MARLOW_INSTALL_DIR, or pass --version through the pipe.

pin a version

$ curl -fsSL https://getmarlowai.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --version 0.1.0
