# Jelou CLI

> The Jelou CLI (jelou): a single binary to build and operate Functions, projects, channels, databases, WhatsApp, marketplace, and more — from the terminal or from your AI editor.

`jelou` is the entry point to the entire Jelou platform from the terminal.
A single binary brings together several product surfaces: **Functions** (serverless
functions), **projects** (AI assistants + channels), **databases**
(Datum), **WhatsApp** (bots, templates, and campaigns), **marketplace**, and
organization **secrets**.

The CLI is **agent-native**: it's designed to be driven by an AI agent (Claude
Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf…), and to be used by a human from the terminal. When
you run `jelou login`, the CLI **automatically installs skills** in the detected
AI editors, so any new session already knows how to operate `jelou`. See
[Skills](/en/guides/cli/skills).

## Installation

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @jelou/cli
```

You can also install it with Deno:

```bash theme={null}
deno install -A -f -n jelou --global jsr:@jelou/cli
```

Deno writes the binary to `~/.deno/bin/`. If that directory is not on your
`PATH`:

```bash theme={null}
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.deno/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
```

Verify the installation:

```bash theme={null}
jelou --version
```

<Tip>

</Tip>

## Quickstart

```bash theme={null}
jelou login          # skills auto-install in your AI editors
mkdir my-project && cd my-project
```

Open a new session in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Windsurf from that folder
and ask for what you need in natural language — *"build a support flow"*,
*"deploy a Stripe webhook"*, *"send a WhatsApp campaign"*. The agent
picks the right `jelou` command and runs it.

Prefer the terminal? `jelou --help` walks the entire command tree.

<Note>
  The [Functions CLI](/en/guides/functions/cli) documents the `jelou functions`
  subcommand in detail (local development, deployment, secrets, and function cron).
</Note>

## Output modes

Every command supports output designed for agents and CI:

* `--json` — structured output `{ ok, data }` / `{ ok, error }` on stdout.
* `--agent` — agent mode: implies `--json`, `--no-input`, `--compact`, and
  `NO_COLOR`.
* `--describe` — emits the command schema as JSON, without executing it.

When stdout is not a terminal (for example `jelou whoami | jq`), the CLI switches
to JSON automatically. Details in [Reference](/en/guides/cli/referencia).

```bash theme={null}
jelou whoami --json
jelou project list --agent
jelou databases create --describe
```
