CLI

Installation

Run ct with npx, or install it in a project or globally.

1 min read ยท Updated October 2026

ct is the @continuous-translations/cli package on npm. It needs Node 20 or newer.

Run it with npx #

Nothing to install. Put npx @continuous-translations/cli in front of a command:

SH 
npx @continuous-translations/cli push

This is what the CI snippets use, so a pipeline needs no setup beyond Node.

Install it in a project #

Add it as a development dependency to pin the version for everyone who works on the repository:

SH 
npm install --save-dev @continuous-translations/cli
npx ct push

Install it globally #

To get the ct command everywhere on your machine:

SH 
npm install --global @continuous-translations/cli
ct --help

The pages in this chapter write ct push for short. Use npx @continuous-translations/cli push when ct is not installed.

ct needs a project key and a ct.yml before it can do anything. See Set up a project.
