Installation

Upgrading from solo-server? See the Migration Guide first.

First, install the uv package manager and setup a virtual environment as explained in prereq.md

#Choose one of the following for solo-cli installation
#1. Install solo cli from PyPI python manager
uv pip install solo-cli

#2. Install solo cli from source
git clone https://github.com/GetSoloTech/solo-cli.git
cd solo-cli
uv pip install -e .

# Solo commands
solo --help

Quick Installation for Mac (Automated)

For Mac users, we provide an automated installation script that handles all the setup steps:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/GetSoloTech/solo-cli.git
cd solo-cli

# Make the installation script executable
chmod +x install_mac.sh

# Run the automated installation
./install_mac.sh

The script will automatically:

• Install uv package manager (version 0.9.3)
• Create a virtual environment with Python 3.12.12
• Set up environment variables for dependencies
• Install solo-cli in development mode with fallback handling for mujoco dependencies

After installation, activate the virtual environment:

source solo_venv/bin/activate
