# Install

> Install @useveil/cli globally or run it with npx. Requires Node.js 22 or later.

## Requirements

Node.js 22 or later. Check your version with `node --version`.

## Install

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Global install theme={null}
  npm install -g @useveil/cli
  ```

  ```bash npx (no install) theme={null}
  npx @useveil/cli <command>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

After a global install, the `veil` binary is available on your `PATH`.

## Verify the install

Run a health check against the Veil API:

```bash theme={null}
veil health
```

A successful response prints `ok` and the current API version. If it fails, confirm your Node version and network access.

## Next step

[Pair your machine](/cli/login) with `veil login`.
