Installation

Installation

There are three ways to install the clickup CLI.

Go

If you have Go 1.25 or later installed, use go install:

Terminal window
go install github.com/triptechtravel/clickup-cli/cmd/clickup@latest

This places the binary in your $GOBIN directory (typically $HOME/go/bin). Make sure that directory is in your PATH.

Homebrew

On macOS and Linux, install via Homebrew:

Terminal window
brew install triptechtravel/tap/clickup

To upgrade later:

Terminal window
brew upgrade triptechtravel/tap/clickup

Binary releases

Download a prebuilt binary for your platform from the GitHub releases page.

  1. Download the archive for your OS and architecture.
  2. Extract it.
  3. Move the clickup binary to a directory in your PATH (for example, /usr/local/bin).
Terminal window
# Example for macOS arm64
tar xzf clickup_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
sudo mv clickup /usr/local/bin/

Verify the installation

After installing, confirm the CLI is available:

Terminal window
clickup version

This prints the version, commit SHA, and build date.

Shell completions

Generate completion scripts for your shell to enable tab completion of commands and flags.

Terminal window
# Bash
source <(clickup completion bash)


# Zsh
source <(clickup completion zsh)
# Or install permanently:
clickup completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_clickup"


# Fish
clickup completion fish | source


# PowerShell
clickup completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

Dependencies

The link pr command requires the GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and authenticated. Install it separately if you plan to link pull requests to ClickUp tasks.
