The CLI command is Aurora Shell’s dedicated installer for developer CLI tools. Once installed, it provides one-command access to 38+ popular tools spanning cloud platforms, containers, databases, deployment services, AI APIs, and more. Every invocation fetches the latest package list from GitHub, so the catalog stays current without requiring a full Aurora Shell update.

​
Installation

Install the CLI command through the Aurora Shell package manager: 
shell install CLI
This writes the CLI script to ~/.aurora-shell_files/bin/CLI and marks it executable. Because ~/.aurora-shell_files/bin is on $PATH, the CLI command is immediately available in any new shell session.

​
CLI install <package>

Installs a CLI tool using Homebrew (macOS) or winget (Windows) under the hood. Accepts both full package IDs and aliases. Syntax 
CLI install <package>
Examples 
CLI install GitHub.CLI
CLI install Docker.CLI
CLI install Kubernetes.CLI

# Aliases work too
CLI install gh        # resolves to GitHub.CLI
CLI install k8s       # resolves to Kubernetes.CLI
CLI install claude    # resolves to Anthropic.CLI
Install flow
  1. The package list is fetched from GitHub and saved to ~/.aurora-shell_files/cli-packages.json.
  2. The alias is resolved to a full package ID.
  3. The install command from the registry is executed (e.g., brew install gh).
  4. A spinner runs while the install completes.
  5. On success, the installed command name is confirmed.
📦 Installing GitHub.CLI CLI...
user@host ~ % brew install gh
✅ GitHub.CLI CLI installed: gh

​
CLI list

Prints all packages available in the registry, showing each package’s full ID, command name, and description. Syntax 
CLI list
Example output 
📋 Available CLI packages:
  GitHub.CLI (gh) - GitHub CLI
  Amazon.AWS (aws) - Amazon Web Services CLI
  Microsoft.Azure (az) - Microsoft Azure CLI
  Docker.CLI (docker) - Docker container CLI
  Kubernetes.CLI (kubectl) - Kubernetes CLI
  ...
See the CLI Packages Catalog for the full list.

​
CLI search <query>

Performs a case-insensitive search of package IDs and aliases in the registry and prints matching results in a formatted table. Syntax 
CLI search <query>
Examples 
CLI search docker
CLI search cloud
CLI search aws
Example output 
🔍 Searching CLI packages for: docker

Name                      ID                        Version    Source
------------------------- ------------------------- ---------- ------
Docker container CLI      Docker.CLI                29.4.1     brew

​
Package Sources

Each registry entry declares a source field that tells the CLI installer which tool to use:
SourceInstall mechanism
brewbrew install <formula> (macOS)
npmnpm install -g <package>
pippip3 install <package>
pipxpipx install <package>
kiro.devCustom URL — curl -fsSL https://cli.kiro.dev/install | bash
auroraCustom install script embedded in the registry

​
Keeping Packages Updated

The CLI package list is always fetched fresh from the Aurora Shell GitHub repository on each CLI install or CLI list invocation: 
curl -sf "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seaus-tech/Aurora-Shell/dev/cli-packages.json"
The fetched file is stored locally at ~/.aurora-shell_files/cli-packages.json. If the fetch fails (e.g., no network), the locally cached copy is used as a fallback.

​

For the complete list of all 38+ available packages organized by category with versions, aliases, and install commands, see the CLI Packages Catalog.
