Installation - Decibel

Install the CLI

npm

npm install -g @decibeltrade/cli

yarn

yarn global add @decibeltrade/cli

pnpm

pnpm add -g @decibeltrade/cli

Requires Node.js 22 or later.

Run without installing

You can also run the CLI directly with npx without a global install:

npx -y --package @decibeltrade/cli decibel-cli markets ls

--package is required. The package publishes two binaries (decibel-cli and decibel-mcp), and neither matches the package name, so npx @decibeltrade/cli cannot infer which to run and fails with could not determine executable to run.

decibel-cli --help
