Arcjet is the runtime security platform that ships with your code. The Arcjet CLI gives you terminal access to the Arcjet security platform — manage your sites, inspect traffic, and configure security rules directly from the command line or through AI coding agents.
See the Arcjet docs for the full platform documentation.
Run the CLI directly without installing it. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows:
npx -y @arcjet/cli@latestbrew install arcjet/tap/arcjetcurl -sSfL https://arcjet.com/cli/install.sh | bashDownload the latest binary for your platform from
Releases. Extract the archive and
place the arcjet binary somewhere on your PATH. This is primarily intended
for internal redistribution and air-gapped environments.
Available for macOS (Apple Silicon, Intel), Linux (x86_64, arm64), and Windows (x86_64, arm64).
