Access your Argo CD instances with the CLI

1. Install the Argo CD CLI:

   Mac w/Homebrew

   brew install argocd

   Linux or WSL

   curl -sSL -o /usr/local/bin/argocd https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/releases/latest/download/argocd-linux-amd64
   
   chmod +x /usr/local/bin/argocd

   Windows w/ Powershell

   Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/releases/latest/download/argocd-windows-amd64.exe -OutFile argocd.exe

   note

   You will also need to move argocd.exe onto your PATH.

2. Find the URL for your Argo CD instance by visiting Argo CD → your instance. It is found in the upper left hand corner of the screen, just to the right of the instance name and health status.

3. If you have not already enabled the admin user for your instance, follow these instructions.

4. Log in by using the following command and following the prompts:

   argocd login <instance url>

At this point, you're ready to use your Akuity-managed Argo CD instance as normal. To try it out, we recommend moving on to the Argo CD "Getting Started" guide, starting from step 6.
