CLI - All Hands Docs
The Command-Line Interface (CLI) provides a powerful interface that lets you engage with OpenHands directly from your terminal.
Developer Tool
Summary
The OpenHands CLI is an open‑source command‑line interface that lets developers run AI‑powered development agents directly in their terminal without Docker or a web UI, offering instant interaction via natural language commands.
Highlights
- Zero‑Docker installation using pip (Python 3.12/3.13) or uvx.
- Model‑agnostic: works with cloud‑hosted or locally‑run large language models.
- Slash commands and confirmation mode streamline repository init, agent management, and documentation tasks safely.
- Delivers the same high performance as OpenHands GUI agents.
