Run QA Wolf flows from your terminal or in CI.
The CLI runs and manages flows locally. Flow creation, AI-powered test generation, managed cloud execution, and team collaboration are part of the full QA Wolf platform. See docs.qawolf.com for the full docs, or qawolf.com to get started.
npm install -g @qawolf/cli
# or: pnpm add -g @qawolf/cli
# or: yarn global add @qawolf/cli
# or: bun add -g @qawolf/cliTry it without installing:
npx @qawolf/cli --helpSupported Node versions: active LTS and newer (currently Node 22+). See nodejs.org.
Precompiled binaries are attached to each GitHub Release — no Node.js required: qawolf-linux-x64, qawolf-linux-arm64, qawolf-darwin-x64, qawolf-darwin-arm64, and qawolf-windows-x64.exe.

chmod +x qawolf && ./qawolf --helpYou need a QA Wolf account — sign up at qawolf.com. The <env-id> comes from the QA Wolf dashboard under Settings → Environments.
qawolf auth login # or set QAWOLF_API_KEY for CI
qawolf flows run --env <env-id>qawolf flows run --env runs your team's flows from the local .qawolf/<env> cache (a per-environment copy of your flows on disk), pulling them first only if they are not already cached locally and installing the runtime dependencies they need. To refresh the local cache, run qawolf flows pull --env <env-id>; to author flows locally without the platform, run qawolf init first.
The examples/ directory contains sample flows you can run directly:
qawolf install # one-time: install the browser runtime
