## Pre-Requisites
The OpenBB Platform CLI is a wrapper around the [Platform](/platform), and should be installed along side an existing OpenBB installation.
- A Python virtual environment with a version between 3.9 and 3.11, inclusive, is required.
Please refer to the [OpenBB Platform install documentation](/platform/installation) for instructions and more information.
:::info
If the OpenBB Platform is not already installed, the `openbb-cli` package will install the default components.
:::
### Linux Requirements
Linux users will need to take additional steps prior to installation.
#### Rust
Rust and Cargo must be installed, system-level, and in the PATH. Follow the instructions on-screen to install and add to PATH in the shell profile.
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.3 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
```
#### Webkit
Next, install webkit.
- Debian-based / Ubuntu / Mint: `sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev`
- Arch Linux / Manjaro: `sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk`
- Fedora: `sudo dnf install gtk3-devel webkit2gtk3-devel`
## PyPI
Within your existing OpenBB environment, install `openbb-cli` with:
```console
pip install openbb-cli
```
The installation script adds `openbb` to the PATH within your Python environment. The application can be launched from any path, as long as the environment is active.
```console
openbb
Welcome to OpenBB Platform CLI v1.0.0
```
## Source
Follow the instructions [here](/platform/installation#source) to clone the GitHub repo and install the OpenBB Platform from the source code.
Next, navigate into the folder: `~/OpenBBTerminal/cli`
:::tip
The Python environment should have `toml` and `poetry` installed.
```bash
pip install toml poetry
```
:::
Finally, enter:
```console
poetry install
```
Alternatively, install locally with `pip`:
```bash
pip install -e .
```
## Installing New Modules
New extensions, or removals, are automatically added (removed) to the CLI on the next launch.
