Problems with installation

If you receive a permission error, read npm's official guide on installing packages globally.

The best practice is to use a Node.js version manager to install Node.js 22+. It prevents permission issues from happening in the first place. We recommend:

Once you have the correct version of Node.js on your machine, install the Apify CLI with the following command:

npm install -g apify-cli

Migrations

You can find the differences and migration info in migration guidelines.

Help command

To see all CLI commands simply run:

apify help

To get information about a specific command run:

apify help COMMAND
