Installation

npm (recommended)

npm install -g @intellia/hutly-cli

This installs a native, bun-compiled binary for your platform. No Node runtime is required to run hutly itself — Node is only used by the thin launcher to fork the correct binary.

Supported platforms:

The matching binary is pulled in automatically as an optional dependency, so only the build for your machine is downloaded. If you install with --no-optional, or you’re on an unsupported platform, the launcher will tell you which package is missing — re-install without that flag.

Verify the install:

hutly --version
hutly --help

Source (contributors only)

To run the CLI against a local checkout of the monorepo:

yarn
yarn compile:packages
node packages/hutly-cli/bin/hutly.js --help

This path is for development on the CLI itself. For everyday use, install the published package above.

Next steps

Once installed, point the CLI at your organisation — see Configuration.
