inference.sh
Run 150+ AI apps in the cloud with a simple CLI. No GPU required.
Install CLI
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):
# 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
