Runpodctl

Manage GPU pods, serverless endpoints, templates, volumes, and models.

Install

curl -sSL https://cli.runpod.net | bash (Linux/macOS, and Windows via WSL) or brew install runpod/runpodctl/runpodctl. Manual binaries and the Windows and conda steps live in the runpodctl README, beside the install.sh they describe. The command surface comes from the binary — runpodctl <resource> <action> --help — or the generated pages under runpodctl/docs/.

Old runpodctl builds silently lack newer flags/behaviors (e.g. --model-reference doesn't exist before v2.4.0) and produce confusing downstream errors — and the Homebrew tap can lag well behind. So, before any work:

• Update to the latest build — check runpodctl version, then run runpodctl update (or reinstall from the latest release).
• Pin to one recent version for the whole task.
• Never switch between an old and a new binary mid-task (that flip-flop is a known failure).
• Verify once — runpodctl version shows the current build before you continue.
