Install Othentic CLI

Othentic CLI is the primary interface for deploying and managing your AVS.

1

Prepare to install

Verify you have Node.js version 22.6.0 installed by running:

nvm use 22.6
node -v # Should output: v22.6.0

Node.js must be exactly v22.6.0; any other version will cause compatibility issues.

If needed, manage Node.js versions using nvm.

2

Install the Othentic CLI and node client

Install the CLI & node client globally using your preferred package manager:

pnpm

pnpm add -g @othentic/cli
pnpm add -g @othentic/node

yarn

npm

3

Verify installation

Run:

otcli -V
otnode -V
# Should output version number
# 1.x.y

Success!

You've successfully installed Othentic CLI.

Next, use the CLI to deploy AVS smart contracts on testnet.
