Getting Started with Acquia CLI
This guide covers installation, authentication, and your first commands.
Use when:
- Installing acli for the first time
- Authenticating with Acquia Cloud
- Learning your first acli commands
Tool Overview
Two separate CLIs exist for Acquia Cloud operations:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
acli |
General Cloud management: applications, environments, IDEs, SSH keys, code/DB sync |
pipelines-cli |
CI/CD pipeline operations: trigger builds, check job status, stream logs |
Use pipelines-cli for anything related to pipeline jobs. Use acli for everything else.
