Acquia CLI
The official command-line tool for interacting with the Drupal Cloud Platform and services. Acquia CLI helps you run Drush commands and tail logs from your Acquia-hosted applications, manage Acquia Cloud IDEs, create and manage teams and applications via the Cloud Platform API, and much more!
Acquia CLI does not provide or manage local development environments. If you are looking for a packaged development environment, consider Acquia Cloud IDE or third-party tools such as Lando.
Install instructions and official documentation are available at https://docs.acquia.com/dev-studio/acquia-cli/install/
Similar tools
Several tools compliment or duplicate Acquia CLI functionality. Acquia CLI can safely be used with any of these tools, although some functionality may be duplicated.
- Acquia BLT: Provides an automation framework for setting up and managing Drupal applications. Acquia BLT is installed in a Drupal application and provides support for just that application, while Acquia CLI should be installed globally and allows you to interact with any Acquia service. Acquia CLI is not an automation framework like Acquia BLT.
- Pipelines CLI: Provides an interface for managing Acquia Pipelines jobs. Acquia CLI does not allow you to manage Pipelines jobs, although this functionality is in the roadmap.
- Typhonius Acquia CLI: Provides just an interface for Cloud API. Acquia CLI (acquia/cli) is a superset of this functionality, with access to the Cloud API as well as Acquia services not part of Cloud API.
- ACSF tools: Provides Drush commands for interacting with ACSF. Duplicates some functionality of Acquia CLI, but in the form of Drush commands rather than a standalone CLI.
