{% endembed %}

### Binary installation

On the Commander Github page, the current commander build is always available via the [releases link](https://github.com/Keeper-Security/Commander/releases).

For mac installs download and install the file named: `keeper-commander-mac-vx.xx.pkg`

After installation, type "`keeper shell`" to login.

### Python / PIP3 installation method

Download the current version of Python from: [https://www.python.org/](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

#### Installation with Virtual Environment

Best practice is to set up a virtual environment to avoid system conflicts

```
python3 -m venv keeper-env
source keeper-env/bin/activate
pip install keepercommander
```

Then login to the Keeper CLI using:

```
keeper shell
```

***

#### Installation without a Virtual Environment

To install on the system without a virtual environment:

```
pip3 install --user keepercommander
```

Next, ensure Keeper is in the PATH so that the "keeper" binary is available.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/Library/Python/$(python3 -V | cut -d" " -f2 | cut -d"." -f1-2)/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
```

{% endcode %}

***

#### Logging In

To validate Keeper Commander is properly installed, login:

```
