CLI Installation on macOS

How to install Keeper Commander on macOS

Watch the video below to learn how to install and log in to Keeper Commander.

On the Commander Github page, the current commander build is always available via the releases link.

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

After installation, type "keeper shell" to login.

Download the current version of Python from: https://www.python.org/

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

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.

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

To validate Keeper Commander is properly installed, login:

keeper shell

To quickly login to your account on the US data center, use the following command:

login [email protected]

For detailed login and session management instructions, see the Logging In section.

We release updates weekly. You can update to the latest version of Commander by typing:

pip3 install --upgrade keepercommander
