Install it with cargo, just make sure you have Rust installed on your computer.

NOTE: On Linux, near-cli-rs is built with Ledger devices support by default, and that requires libudev-dev package. On Debian/Ubuntu, install it with apt install libudev-dev.

cargo install near-cli-rs

or, install the most recent version from git repository:

$ cargo install --git https://github.com/near/near-cli-rs

It is often desirable to use near CLI from CI to automate some actions, so here is an example of how you can make a function call during CI:

name: Release
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  deploy-widgets:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Make a function call on mainnet
    env:
      NEAR_NETWORK_CONNECTION: mainnet
      NEAR_CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ vars.NEAR_CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_ID }}
      NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ vars.NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_ID }}
      NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PUBLIC_KEY: ${{ vars.NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PUBLIC_KEY }}
      NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY }}

    steps:
    - name: Checkout repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Install near CLI
      run: |
        curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/near/near-cli-rs/releases/download/v0.7.4/near-cli-rs-installer.sh | sh

    - name: Call some function
      run: |
        near contract call-function as-transaction "$NEAR_CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_ID" 'function_name_here' json-args '{}' prepaid-gas '100 TeraGas' attached-deposit '0 NEAR' sign-as "$NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_ID" network-config "$NEAR_NETWORK_CONNECTION" sign-with-plaintext-private-key --signer-public-key "$NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PUBLIC_KEY" --signer-private-key "$NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY" send

You will need to configure GitHub Actions Secrets and Variables and once it is ready, this CI will only take a couple of seconds to complete!

See how it is used by DevHub.
