To get started with the Firebase CLI, read the full list of commands below or check out the [documentation](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli).

Installation

Node Package

You can install the Firebase CLI using npm (the Node Package Manager). Note that you will need to install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [npm](https://npmjs.org/). Installing Node.js should install npm as well.

To download and install the Firebase CLI run the following command:

npm install -g firebase-tools

This will provide you with the globally accessible `firebase` command.

Standalone Binary

The standalone binary distribution of the Firebase CLI allows you to download a `firebase` executable without any dependencies.

To download and install the CLI run the following command:

curl -sL firebase.tools | bash

Commands

**The command `firebase --help` lists the available commands and `firebase --help` shows more details for an individual command.**

If a command is project-specific, you must either be inside a project directory with an active project alias or specify the Firebase project id with the `-P ` flag.
