Quick Start

Installation on Ubuntu VPS

Follow these steps to get Gemini CLI up and running on your Ubuntu server.

Step 1: Update Your System

Ensure your package list is up to date and install essential packages.

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Node.js via NVM

We recommend using Node Version Manager (nvm) to install Node.js. This avoids potential permission issues and makes version management easy.

$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
# Reload your shell for the changes to take effect
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ nvm install --lts

This installs the latest Long-Term Support version of Node.js (v18+ required).

Step 3: Install Gemini CLI

With Node.js and npm ready, install the Gemini CLI package globally.

$ npm install -g gemini-cli

Step 4: Authenticate

Finally, configure the CLI with your Gemini API key to authenticate your requests.

$ gemini auth <YOUR_API_KEY>
