Node and npm

To use the AsyncAPI CLI tool, you must install NPM and Node.js version 10 or higher. To check if you already have both installed, run the following commands in your terminal:

# check if node is installed
node -v
# or
node --version

# check if NPM is installed
npm -v
# or
npm --version

If you don’t have Node.js or NPM installed, you can install both with this Node.js package manager.

After installing Node.js and NPM, run the following command to install the AsyncAPI CLI globally:

npm install -g @asyncapi/cli

Docker

Install Docker first, then use docker to build the image using the following command :

docker build -t asyncapi/cli:latest .

and run the image using the following command :

docker run --rm -it \
--user=root \
-v [ASYNCAPI SPEC FILE LOCATION]:/app/asyncapi.yml \
-v [GENERATED FILES LOCATION]:/app/output \
asyncapi/cli [COMMAND HERE]

# Example that you can run inside the cli directory after cloning this repository. First, you specify the mount in the location of your AsyncAPI specification file and then you mount it in the directory where the generation result should be saved.
docker run --rm -it \
   --user=root \
   -v ${PWD}/test/integration/fixtures/asyncapi_v1.yml:/app/asyncapi.yml \
   -v ${PWD}/output:/app/output \
   asyncapi/cli generate fromTemplate -o /app/output /app/asyncapi.yml @asyncapi/html-template --force-write

Note: Use ` instead of \ for Windows.

Mac

There are two ways to install the AsyncAPI CLI on your macOS: using the brew package manager or pkg files.

brew

To install the AsyncAPI CLI using the brew package manager, run the following commands in your terminal:

# Install brew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

# Install AsyncAPI CLI
brew install asyncapi

pkg

Every release of the AsyncAPI CLI has two macOS dedicated pkg file that enables you to install the CLI tool as a macOS application for x64 as well as arm64 architecture. To download the latest CLI release, run this command in your terminal:

# For x64
curl -OL https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases/latest/download/asyncapi.x64.pkg

# For arm64
curl -OL https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases/latest/download/asyncapi.arm64.pkg

To download a specific CLI release, run this command in your terminal:

curl -OL https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases/download/<replace this with the specific CLI version e.g v0.13.0>/asyncapi.pkg
Follow this link for all AsyncAPI CLI releases.

After downloading the AsyncAPI CLI, install it via the following command:

sudo installer -pkg asyncapi.pkg -target /

Windows

There are two ways to install the AsyncAPI CLI on your Windows operating system: using the chocolatey package manager or executable files.

Chocolatey

Prerequisites: Chocolatey must be installed on your Windows operating system. The installation instructions can be found here.

To install the AsyncAPI CLI using the chocolatey package manager, run the following command in your terminal with administrator privileges:

# Install AsyncAPI CLI
choco install asyncapi

To upgrade run this command:-

# Upgrade AsyncAPI CLI
choco upgrade asyncapi

To install a specific version run this command:

# Install AsyncAPI CLI version xx.xx.xx
choco install asyncapi --version xx.xx.xx

All the AsyncAPI CLI versions can be found here.

Executable files

Just install the appropriate installer and simply follow the default installation steps to complete the installation process.

Download asyncapi.x64.exe for 64-bit Windows and download asyncapi.x86.exe for 32-bit Windows.

Linux

Selecting the appropriate AsyncAPI CLI installation method on a Linux operating system depends on your Linux distro.

Debian based distros

For Debian based distros, you can install the AsycAPI CLI using the dpkg package manager for Debian.

curl -OL https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases/latest/download/asyncapi.deb

To download a specific release of the CLI, run this command in your terminal:

curl -OL https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases/download/<replace this with the specific CLI version e.g v0.13.0>/asyncapi.deb

Other distros

You can install the AsyncAPI CLI for other Linux distros using the archive tar.gz file. To download the latest release of the CLI, run this command in your terminal:

curl -OL https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases/latest/download/asyncapi.tar.gz

To download a specific release of the CLI, run this command in your terminal:

curl -OL https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases/download/<replace this with the specific CLI version e.g v0.13.0>/asyncapi.tar.gz

Once you have downloaded the archived file, untar it by running this command in your terminal:

tar -xzf asyncapi.tar.gz

The step above will create an AsyncAPI directory in the current path. To run the CLI from anywhere, you must create a symlink. If the current path you are on is /user/local/bin, for example, you must create the symlink in the /user/local/bin directory by following these steps:

# cd into the unarchived directory
cd asyncapi

# get the absolute path
pwd

# Create a symlink
ln -s <absolute-path>/bin/asyncapi /user/local/bin/asyncapi

# The "asyncapi" command should be available to be used
asyncapi
