The Tower CLI is one of the main ways to interact with the Tower environment. You can do basically everything you need inside the Tower CLI, including run your code locally or remotely in the Tower cloud.

The main way to install the CLI is using the pip package manager.

$ pip install -U tower-cli

You can also download the CLI directly from one of our releases.

There are two big components in the Tower CLI reposiory: The CLI itself and the runtime environment for the Tower cloud. We host the runtime in this repository and pull it in to our internal code because we want to ensure that the environments behave exactly the same locally and in our cloud!

It's pretty straight forward! But here's what it looks like right now.

$ tower

The tower-runtime crate has the Rust library that makes up the runtime environment itself. All the interfaces are defined in the main crate, and the local package contains the invokation logic for invoking tower packages locally.

To learn more about tower packages, see the tower-package crate.
