Problems with installation
If you receive a permission error, read npm's official guide on installing packages globally.
The best practice is to use a Node.js version manager to install Node.js 22+. It prevents permission issues from happening in the first place. We recommend:
Once you have the correct version of Node.js on your machine, install the Apify CLI with the following command:
npm install -g apify-cli
Migrations
You can find the differences and migration info in migration guidelines.
Help command
To see all CLI commands simply run:
apify help
To get information about a specific command run:
apify help COMMAND
