CLI

The Infisical CLI can be used to inject secrets into any framework like Next.js, Express, Django and more in local development.

It can also be used to expose secrets from Infisical as environment variables in CI/CD pipelines and Docker containers

Prerequisites:

• Have a project with secrets ready in Infisical Cloud.

Installation

Follow the instructions for your operating system to install the Infisical CLI.

	```console
	brew install infisical/get-cli/infisical

    ```console
    scoop bucket add org https://github.com/Infisical/scoop-infisical.git
    ```

Initialization

Navigate to the root of your project directory and run the init command. This step connects your local project to the project on the Infisical platform and creates a .infisical.json file containing a reference to that latter project.

infisical init

Start your app with environment variables injected

infisical run -- <your_application_start_command>

Example start commands

infisical run -- npm run dev
infisical run -- flask run
infisical run -- ./your_bash_script.sh

Your app should now be running with the secrets from Infisical injected as environment variables.
