Cloudron CLI

[lukas]

Hi,

I installed the cloudron CLI today, but something is wrong:

barcmin@cloudron:~$ sudo npm install -g cloudron
[sudo] password for barcmin:

changed 105 packages, and audited 106 packages in 5s

Some issues need review, and may require choosing

Run `npm audit` for details.
barcmin@cloudron:~$ npm fund
barcmin

barcmin@cloudron:~$ npm audit

barcmin@cloudron:~$ cloudron --help
cloudron: command not found

What I have to do?

Thank you and regards,
Lukas

Not sure I understand what is wrong here. Are you using nodejs from your distribution or something like nvm?
The npm commands would operate on the current folder, so are you in a git checkout from the cloudron-cli code?

just logged into my VPS and wanted to install the Cloudron CLI

ah. The cli is actually not built to run on Cloudron itself, but it would interact with a Cloudron via REST api.

Is there a specific use-case where you need it on the server?

The CLI has to be installed on your laptop/Mac and not your server.

I want to install the InfluxDB Package, I thought then via Cloudron CLI. So I have to install it on my Client, to install this package.
