E2B CLI

Docs | Website | Discord | Twitter

E2B (english2bits) is a cloud operating system for AI agents.

Installation

npm install -g @e2b/cli

Then you can use the CLI like this:

e2b --help

Getting started

1. Authenticate with e2b login

To authenticate without the ability to open browser, you can provide E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN as an environment variable. Get your E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN from e2b.dev/docs. Then use the CLI like this: E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN=sk_e2b_... e2b build

1. Create a Dockerfile where you describe how your custom E2B environment should look like

2. Run e2b build inside the directory with the Dockerfile to create and build the environment. You will get environment ID that you use for connecting to the environment instances via SDKs and for rebuilding the environment

3. Use the environment ID that you got during the e2b build with the Python or JS/TS SDK as the id to create environment instances

4. Rebuild the environment by running e2b build <id-of-the-environment> in the directory with the Dockerfile

Commands

All commands can be called with a --path <path-to-dir> flag that changes the directory where the command will be called, without the need to call cd.
