Installation

The Tektii CLI (tektii) manages strategies, versions, scenarios, and configurations on the Tektii backtesting platform (api.tektii.com). It is a separate product from the self-hosted Trading Gateway — installing the CLI does not install or run the Gateway, and vice versa.

Quick Install

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://releases.tektii.com/cli/install.sh | sh

Windows (WSL)

Install via Windows Subsystem for Linux using the same command as Linux:

curl -fsSL https://releases.tektii.com/cli/install.sh | sh

WSL Required

The Tektii CLI requires WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on Windows. Native Windows support is not currently available.

Verify Installation

After installation, verify the CLI is working:

# Check version
tektii --version

# View help
tektii --help

You should see output like:

tektii 0.1.0

Next Steps

Once installed, configure the CLI with your API key:

Get an API key from Settings → API Keys
Set the environment variable:

export TEKTII_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Test the connection:

tektii strategy list

Continue to Authentication for more details on configuring your credentials.
