# CLI Daytona provides command-line access to core features for interacting with Daytona Sandboxes, including managing their lifecycle, snapshots, and more. The CLI reference lists all commands supported by the `daytona` command-line tool, complete with a description of their behavior, and any supported flags. You can access this documentation on a per-command basis by appending the `--help`/`-h` flag when invoking `daytona`. ## Installation Install the Daytona CLI to interact with Daytona sandboxes from the command line. - [Mac](/content/docs/en/tools/cli/#tab-panel-1767/index.html) - [Linux](/content/docs/en/tools/cli/#tab-panel-1768/index.html) - [Windows](/content/docs/en/tools/cli/#tab-panel-1769/index.html) ``` brew install daytonaio/cli/daytona ``` Trust the tap once so routine `brew upgrade` keeps the Daytona CLI up to date. Recent Homebrew versions require third-party taps to be explicitly trusted; without it, a bare `brew upgrade` skips the Daytona tap and the CLI goes stale: ``` brew trust daytonaio/cli ``` To upgrade the Daytona CLI to the latest version: ``` brew upgrade daytonaio/cli/daytona ``` Alternatively, install directly without Homebrew: For Apple Silicon (`arm64`): ``` sudo curl -fL https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona/releases/latest/download/daytona-darwin-arm64 -o /usr/local/bin/daytona && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/daytona ``` For Intel (`amd64`): ``` sudo curl -fL https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona/releases/latest/download/daytona-darwin-amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/daytona && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/daytona ``` Choose the command for your Linux architecture. Both commands download the latest binary from GitHub releases and install it to `/usr/local/bin`, overwriting any existing version. For `amd64` (`x86_64`): ``` sudo curl -fL https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona/releases/latest/download/daytona-linux-amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/daytona && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/daytona ``` For `arm64` (`aarch64`): ``` sudo curl -fL https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona/releases/latest/download/daytona-linux-arm64 -o /usr/local/bin/daytona && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/daytona ``` ``` powershell -Command "irm https://get.daytona.io/windows | iex" ``` After installing the Daytona CLI, use the `daytona` command to interact with Daytona sandboxes from the command line. ## daytona ### Command ``` daytona [flags] ``` ### Flags | Long | Short | Description | | :--------- | :---- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | | help for daytona | | `--version`| `-v` | Display the version of Daytona | ## daytona archive ### Command ``` daytona archive [SANDBOX_ID] | [SANDBOX_NAME] [flags] ``` ### Flags | Long | Short | Description | | :------- | :---- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | | help for daytona | ## daytona autocomplete ### Command ``` daytona autocomplete [bash|zsh|fish|powershell] [flags] ``` ### Flags | Long | Short | Description | | :------- | :---- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | | help for daytona | ## daytona create ### Command ``` daytona create [flags] ``` ### Flags | Long | Short | Description | | :------------------- | :---- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `--auto-archive` | | Auto-archive interval in minutes (0 means the maximum interval will be used) | | `--auto-delete` | | Auto-delete interval in minutes (negative value means disabled) | | `--auto-pause` | | Auto-pause interval in minutes (0 means disabled) | | `--auto-stop` | | Auto-stop interval in minutes (0 means disabled) | | `--context` | `-c` | Files or directories to include in the build context (can be specified multiple times) | | `--cpu` | | CPU cores allocated to the sandbox | | `--disk` | | Disk space allocated to the sandbox in GB | | `--dockerfile` | `-f` | Path to Dockerfile for Sandbox snapshot | | `--env` | `-e` | Environment variables (format: KEY=VALUE) | | `--gpu` | | GPU units allocated to the sandbox | | `--kvm` | | Expose KVM (/dev/kvm) inside the sandbox via nested virtualization | | `--label` | `-l` | Labels (format: KEY=VALUE) | | `--memory` | | Memory allocated to the sandbox in MB | | `--name` | | Name of the sandbox | | `--network-allow-list` | | Comma-separated list of allowed CIDR network addresses for the sandbox | | `--network-block-all` | | Whether to block all network access for the sandbox | | `--public` | | Make sandbox publicly accessible | | `--queue-timeout` | | Minutes to wait for runner assignment before the sandbox creation is cancelled | | `--snapshot` | | Snapshot to use for the sandbox | | `--target` | | Target region (eu, us) | | `--ttl` | | Maximum time to live in minutes | | `--user` | | User associated with the sandbox | | `--volume` | `-v` | Volumes to mount (format: VOLUME_ID_OR_NAME:MOUNT_PATH) | | `--help` | | help for daytona | ## daytona delete ### Command ``` daytona delete [SANDBOX_ID] | [SANDBOX_NAME] [flags] ``` ### Flags | Long | Short | Description | | :------- | :---- | :---------------------------------- | | `--all` | `-a` | Delete all sandboxes | | `--help` | | help for daytona | ## daytona docs ### Command ``` daytona docs [flags] ``` ### Flags | Long | Short | Description | | :------- | :---- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | | help for daytona | ## daytona exec ### Command ``` daytona exec [SANDBOX_ID | SANDBOX_NAME] -- [COMMAND] [ARGS...] [flags] ``` ### Flags | Long | Short | Description | | :------- | :---- | :---------------------------------- | | `--cwd` | | Working directory for command execution | | `--timeout` | | Command timeout in seconds (0 for no timeout) | | `--help` | | help for daytona | ## daytona info ### Command ``` daytona info [SANDBOX_ID] | [SANDBOX_NAME] [flags] ``` ### Flags | Long | Short | Description | | :------- | :---- | :---------------------------------- | | `--format` | `-f` | Output format.
