Bitwarden Command-line Interface
The Bitwarden CLI is a powerful, full-featured command-line interface (CLI) tool to access and manage a Bitwarden vault. The CLI is written with TypeScript and Node.js and can be run on Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions.
Download/Install
You can install the Bitwarden CLI multiple different ways:
NPM
If you already have the Node.js runtime installed on your system, you can install the CLI using NPM. NPM makes it easy to keep your installation updated and should be the preferred installation method if you are already using Node.js.
npm install -g @bitwarden/cli
Native Executable
We provide natively packaged versions of the CLI for each platform which have no requirements on installing the Node.js runtime. You can obtain these from the downloads section in the documentation.
Other Package Managers
- Chocolatey
choco install bitwarden-cli - Homebrew
brew install bitwarden-cli - Snap
sudo snap install bw
Documentation
The Bitwarden CLI is self-documented with --help content and examples for every command. You should start exploring the CLI by using the global --help option:
bw --help
This option will list all available commands that you can use with the CLI.
Additionally, you can run the --help option on a specific command to learn more about it:
bw list --help
bw create --help
Detailed Documentation
We provide detailed documentation and examples for using the CLI in our help center at https://help.bitwarden.com/article/cli/.
Build/Run
Requirements
- Node.js v14.17 or greater
- NPM v7
Run the app
npm install
npm run sub:init # initialize the git submodule for jslib
npm run build:watch
You can then run commands from the ./build folder:
node ./build/bw.js login
