Installing the Plauti CLI

The Plauti CLI is delivered as a plugin for Salesforce’s modern sf CLI. Follow the steps below to get it running on macOS, Windows, or Linux.

1. Check the Prerequisites

Requirement	Why you need it	Quick check
Node.js 18 LTS or later	The plugin targets modern Node; older versions will be rejected.	`node -v`
SF CLI (successor of SFDX)	Provides the core commands the plugin extends.	`sf --version`

Coming from SFDX? Salesforce deprecated the old sfdx CLI. Uninstall it first, then install sf.

2. Install (or Update) Salesforce CLI

Install the Salesforce CLI globally using npm:

# macOS / Linux / Windows (via npm)
npm install --global @salesforce/cli

Alternatively, on Windows, you can download the MSI installer from developer.salesforce.com/tools/sfdxcli.

Verify the installation:

sf --version   # should print 2.x or later

3. Add the Plauti Plugin

Once the sf CLI is installed, add the Plauti plugin:

sf plugins install plauti-sf-cli-plugin

Verify the plugin was installed successfully:

sf plugins

You should see plauti-sf-cli-plugin listed.

4. You're Ready to Use the Plugin

Now you can start using Plauti CLI commands as part of your Salesforce development workflow. Refer to the official plugin repo for available commands and usage examples.
