Manually

Released Binaries

We provide static-compiled binaries for darwin (macOS), GNU/Linux, and Windows platforms. You just have to download the binary compatible with your platform to a directory available in your PATH:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scaleway/scaleway-cli/master/scripts/get.sh | sh

Windows

You can download the last release here: https://github.com/scaleway/scaleway-cli/releases
This official guide explains how to add tools to your PATH.

Docker Image

You can use the CLI as you would run any Docker image:

docker run -i --rm scaleway/cli:latest

See more in-depth information about running the CLI in Docker here

Getting Started

Setup your configuration

After you installed the latest release just run the initialization command and let yourself be guided! :dancer:

scw init

It will set up your profile, the authentication, and the auto-completion. NB: you'll need to have an API-key (access-key + access-secret), so be sure to create one on the scaleway web console.

Basic commands

# Create an instance server
scw instance server create type=DEV1-S image=ubuntu_noble zone=fr-par-1 tags.0="scw-cli"

# List your servers
scw instance server list

# Create a Kubernetes cluster named foo with cilium as CNI, in version 1.17.4 and with a pool named default composed of 3 DEV1-M and with 2 tags
scw k8s cluster create name=foo version=1.17.4 pools.0.size=3 pools.0.node-type=DEV1-M pools.0.name=default tags.0=tag1 tags.1=tag2

Environment

You can configure your config or enable functionalities with environment variables.

Variables to override config are describe in config documentation. To enable beta features, you can set SCW_ENABLE_BETA=1 in your environment.

Reference documentation

Build it yourself

Build Locally

If you have a >= Go 1.13 environment, you can install the HEAD version to test the latest features or to contribute. Note that this development version could include bugs, use tagged releases if you need stability.

go install github.com/scaleway/scaleway-cli/v2/cmd/scw@latest

Build with Docker

You can build the scw CLI with Docker. If you have Docker installed, you can run:

docker build -t scaleway/cli .

Once built, you can then use the CLI as you would run any image:

docker run -i --rm scaleway/cli
