Mac-CLI doesn't publish an install command for Windows anywhere we can verify, so there's nothing for us to show you. We won't invent one. It does document one for macOS and Linux — switch to that tab.
Pastes into PowerShell and installs Mac-CLI on your Windows machine in one step. Runs as your normal user account, and needs no administrator rights.

How to set up Mac-CLI, step by step
Open Terminal. On a Mac it's in Applications ▸ Utilities, or press Cmd+Space and type Terminal. On Linux, press Ctrl+Alt+T. Paste the command and press Enter.
Run Mac-CLI --help to see the available commands, and
Mac-CLI --version to confirm the install worked. If your shell complains about
permissions, that project usually documents a corrected command on its own site.
This is the install command Mac-CLI publishes. Running it downloads Mac-CLI and puts it somewhere your terminal can find it, so you can start using it right away.

On mobile
Mac-CLI is a command-line tool, so there is no phone app for it — a phone has no shell to run it in. You'll need a desktop, or a remote shell into a machine that has one.
Mac-CLI is developed by its own authors. This page is an independent reference; we are not affiliated with or sponsored by the project. The command shown here was reproduced from the project's public documentation — always check the project's own documentation before running anything.
