Introduction

The Turso CLI gives you everything you need from the command line to manage your database, API tokens, inviting users, and launching the database shell. If you're waiting for a migration to run, there's also a relax command.

You can also programmatically manage your Turso account, including groups, databases, organizations and invites using the Platform API.

Begin by installing the Turso CLI:

brew install tursodatabase/tap/turso

curl -sSfL https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash

curl -sSfL https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash
