inference.sh#

Run 150+ AI apps in the cloud with a simple CLI. No GPU required.

Install CLI#

bash

curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh
infsh login

What does the installer do? The install script detects your OS and architecture, downloads the correct binary from dist.inference.sh, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and places it in your PATH. That's it — no elevated permissions, no background processes, no telemetry. If you have cosign installed, the installer also verifies the Sigstore signature automatically.

Manual install (if you prefer not to pipe to sh):

bash

# Download the binary and checksums
curl -LO https://dist.inference.sh/cli/checksums.txt
curl -LO $(curl -fsSL https://dist.inference.sh/cli/manifest.json | grep -o '"url":"[^"]*"' | grep $(uname -s | tr A-Z a-z)-$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/;s/aarch64/arm64/') | head -1 | cut -d'"' -f4)
# Verify checksum
sha256sum -c checksums.txt --ignore-missing
# Extract and install
tar -xzf inferencesh-cli-*.tar.gz
mv inferencesh-cli-* ~/.local/bin/inferencesh
