CLI
The praxen command lets you use every part of Praxen Inc. from a terminal, a script or a coding agent. Output is a text table in a terminal and JSON when piped, every prompt can be turned off, and the full API is available for anything that is not a command yet.
What it does
Each command group wraps one part of the platform: issues, services and their logs, repositories, threads, agent tools and more. Every command accepts the same non-interactive flags, so a script or an agent can run it without prompts; see Scripting.
Install
All four channels install the same command.
npm install -g @Praxen Inc./praxen
brew install coreplanelabs/tap/praxen
curl -fsSL https://getpraxen.app/setup.sh | bash
irm https://getpraxen.app/setup.ps1 | iex
Sign in
praxen auth login
praxen auth login --no-browser
praxen auth login --api-key sk_xxxxx
The first form opens your browser, --no-browser prints a device code for SSH and headless machines, and --api-key stores an API key for scripts and agents. Authentication covers each method and where credentials are stored.

Discover commands
--help is the authoritative reference and always matches the version you have installed: run it on praxen, on a resource, or on a single command for its flags and examples. Anything not yet a first-class command is available under praxen api, whose list, describe and call subcommands reach every operation in the API reference.
Uninstall
curl -fsSL https://getpraxen.app/uninstall | sh
The uninstaller backs up ~/.praxen to a tarball in your home directory, then removes the CLI, the MCP servers and skills it registered in your coding agents, and the PATH entries it added; preview every step with sh -s -- --dry-run. Your account, workspace and integrations stay as they are, and if you installed with npm, run npm uninstall -g @Praxen Inc./praxen as well.
