# Installation

We provide a [CLI for managing and interacting with local and remote databases](https://docs.geldata.com/reference/using/cli.md#ref-cli-overview). If you're using JavaScript or Python, our client libraries will handle downloading and running the CLI for you using tools like `npx` and `uvx`.

For everyone else, or if you wish to install the CLI globally, you can install using our bash installer or your operating system's package manager.

- Bash:
  ```bash
  $ curl https://www.geldata.com/sh --proto "=https" -sSf1 | sh
  ```
- Powershell:
