Getting Started

The qBraid-CLI comes pre-installed and pre-configured in qBraid Lab:

For help, see qBraid Lab User Guide: Getting Started.

You can also install the qBraid-CLI from PyPI with:

pip install qbraid-cli

To manage qBraid environments using the CLI, you must also install the envs extra:

pip install 'qbraid-cli[envs]'

Local configuration

After installation, you must configure your account credentials to use the CLI locally:

  1. Create a qBraid account or log in to your existing account by visiting account.qbraid.com
  2. Copy your API Key token from the left side of your account page:
  3. Save your API key from step 2 in local configuration file ~/.qbraid/qbraidrc using:
$ qbraid configure

For more on API keys, see documentation.

Reference Docs: https://docs.qbraid.com/v2/cli/api-reference/qbraid

A qBraid CLI command has the following structure:

$ qbraid <command> <subcommand> [options and parameters]

For example, to list installed environments, the command would be:

$ qbraid envs list

To view help documentation, use one of the following:

$ qbraid --help
$ qbraid <command> --help
$ qbraid <command> <subcommand> --help

To get the version of the qBraid CLI:

$ qbraid --version

Magic Commands

You can also access the CLI directly from within Notebooks using IPython magic commands. First, configure the qBraid magic commands extension using:

$ qbraid configure magic

The above command can also be executed from within a Jupyter notebook using the ! operator. Then, from within a notebook cell, load the qBraid magic IPython extension using:

In [1]: %load_ext qbraid_magic

Now you can continue to use the qBraid-CLI as normal from within your Jupyter notebook using the magic % operator, e.g.

In [2]: %qbraid jobs list

Agent updates

Send yourself Slack or email updates and read Slack replies using existing qBraid credentials:

qbraid comms slack send "Tests passed" --json
qbraid comms email send --subject "Progress" --file report.txt --json
qbraid comms slack read --json

See communication commands for Slack connection, stdin input, message limits, and pagination.
