Learn how to install, update, and uninstall Power Platform CLI by using .NET tool commands. This user-specific global installation lets you invoke the CLI from any directory.
Note
You need an internet connection to install and update. The Power Platform CLI with .NET Tool installs and updates from this NuGet package: Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI.Tool
Prerequisites
You must have .NET installed. (.NET 10.0 is recommended.)
Install Power Platform CLI
Install Power Platform CLI by using the dotnet tool install command:
dotnet tool install --global Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI.Tool
Update Power Platform CLI
Update Power Platform CLI by using the dotnet tool update command:
dotnet tool update --global Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI.Tool
Note
All updates for Power Platform CLI require an internet connection to access the latest NuGet package: Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI
Uninstall Power Platform CLI
Uninstall Power Platform CLI by using the dotnet tool uninstall command:
dotnet tool uninstall --global Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI.Tool
File locations
The default location for a tool's executable file depends on the operating system:
| OS | Path |
|---|---|
| Linux/macOS | $HOME/.dotnet/tools |
| Windows | %USERPROFILE%\.dotnet\tools |
When you first run the SDK, it adds this location to your path. So you can invoke global tools from any directory without specifying the tool location.
Tool access is user-specific, not machine global. A global tool is only available to the user that installed the tool.
