Install BCCLI

BCCLI: stable · public · verified

BCCLI is published as @botconnector/bccli on npm. Installing it globally puts one bccli command on your PATH.

Requirement

Node.js 22 or newer. Check with node --version before installing; an older runtime installs cleanly and then fails at startup.

Install or update

npm install -g @botconnector/bccli

The latest tag tracks the current stable release, so the same command updates an existing install. bccli update moves an installed copy to that release without going through npm by hand.

If you want the next prerelease, install @botconnector/bccli@next explicitly. Do not leave a machine on next by accident — it moves as new prereleases are published.

Verify

bccli --version

It must report 0.4.0 or newer. If the shell answers command not found, npm's global bin directory is not on your PATH; npm config get prefix prints the directory to add. A version manager such as nvm keeps that path managed for you.

Sign in

bccli login

This saves your BotConnector credentials for the cloud provider. To sign in to a different provider later, pass its id: bccli login [provider]. Credentials are stored per provider, so one machine can hold several.
