The Phylum command line interface (CLI) allows users to submit their project package dependencies to Phylum's API for analysis. Currently pre-built binaries for Linux and macOS are available. On Windows, we recommend using the Linux binaries under WSL. See the alternate installation methods for more options.

Install on Linux with the following command:

curl https://sh.phylum.io/ | sh -

On macOS, we recommend installing phylum with Homebrew:

brew install phylum

Note: When using Homebrew, official extensions must be installed separately.

1. Register for an account (if you don't already have one)

   phylum auth register

2. Authenticate with Phylum

   phylum auth login

3. Setup your Phylum project in your project directory

   phylum init

4. Submit your lockfiles and manifests to analyze dependencies

   phylum analyze

5. (Optional) View the analysis results in the Phylum UI

Phylum CLI extensions allow you to extend the existing CLI functionality with new features. You can start exploring by taking a look at the official Phylum extensions:

How-to articles for the extension framework can be found here.

As of version 3.8.0, the provided Linux binaries of the Phylum CLI depend on glibc. We no longer provide binaries that are statically compiled with the musl libc.

This means the provided binaries won't be executable in environments such as Alpine Linux. If your use case requires a lightweight Docker base image, consider using Debian slim instead.
