# CrewAI CLI Documentation
The CrewAI CLI provides a set of commands to interact with CrewAI, allowing you to create, train, run, and manage crews & flows.
## Installation
To use the CrewAI CLI, make sure you have CrewAI installed:
```shell Terminal
pip install crewai
```
## Basic Usage
The basic structure of a CrewAI CLI command is:
```shell Terminal
crewai [COMMAND] [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]
```
## Available Commands
### 1. Create
Create a new crew or flow.
```shell Terminal
crewai create [OPTIONS] TYPE NAME
```
- `TYPE`: Choose between "crew" or "flow"
- `NAME`: Name of the crew or flow
Example:
```shell Terminal
crewai create crew my_new_crew
crewai create flow my_new_flow
```
### 2. Version
Show the installed version of CrewAI.
```shell Terminal
crewai version [OPTIONS]
```
- `--tools`: (Optional) Show the installed version of CrewAI tools
Example:
```shell Terminal
crewai version
crewai version --tools
```
### 3. Train
Train the crew for a specified number of iterations.
```shell Terminal
crewai train [OPTIONS]
```
- `-n, --n_iterations INTEGER`: Number of iterations to train the crew (default: 5)
- `-f, --filename TEXT`: Path to a custom file for training (default: "trained_agents_data.pkl")
Example:
```shell Terminal
crewai train -n 10 -f my_training_data.pkl
```
### 4. Replay
Replay the crew execution from a specific task.
```shell Terminal
crewai replay [OPTIONS]
```
- `-t, --task_id TEXT`: Replay the crew from this task ID, including all subsequent tasks
Example:
```shell Terminal
crewai replay -t task_123456
```
### 5. Log-tasks-outputs
Retrieve your latest crew.kickoff() task outputs.
```shell Terminal
crewai log-tasks-outputs
```
### 6. Reset-memories
Reset the crew memories (long, short, entity, latest_crew_kickoff_outputs).
```shell Terminal
crewai reset-memories [OPTIONS]
```
- `-l, --long`: Reset LONG TERM memory
- `-s, --short`: Reset SHORT TERM memory
- `-e, --entities`: Reset ENTITIES memory
- `-k, --kickoff-outputs`: Reset LATEST KICKOFF TASK OUTPUTS
- `-a, --all`: Reset ALL memories
Example:
```shell Terminal
crewai reset-memories --long --short
crewai reset-memories --all
```
### 7. Test
Test the crew and evaluate the results.
```shell Terminal
crewai test [OPTIONS]
```
- `-n, --n_iterations INTEGER`: Number of iterations to test the crew (default: 3)
- `-m, --model TEXT`: LLM Model to run the tests on the Crew (default: "gpt-4o-mini")
Example:
```shell Terminal
crewai test -n 5 -m gpt-3.5-turbo
```
### 8. Run
Run the crew.
```shell Terminal
crewai run
```
<Note>
Make sure to run these commands from the directory where your CrewAI project is set up.
Some commands may require additional configuration or setup within your project structure.
</Note>
### 9. Chat
Starting in version `0.98.0`, when you run the `crewai chat` command, you start an interactive session with your crew. The AI assistant will guide you by asking for necessary inputs to execute the crew. Once all inputs are provided, the crew will execute its tasks.
After receiving the results, you can continue interacting with the assistant for further instructions or questions.
```shell Terminal
crewai chat
```
<Note>
Ensure you execute these commands from your CrewAI project's root directory.
</Note>
<Note>
IMPORTANT: Set the `chat_llm` property in your `crew.py` file to enable this command.
```python
@crew
def crew(self) -> Crew:
return Crew(
agents=self.agents,
tasks=self.tasks,
process=Process.sequential,
verbose=True,
chat_llm="gpt-4o", # LLM for chat orchestration
)
```
</Note>
### 10. API Keys
When running ```crewai create crew``` command, the CLI will first show you the top 5 most common LLM providers and ask you to select one.
Once you've selected an LLM provider, you will be prompted for API keys.
#### Initial API key providers
The CLI will initially prompt for API keys for the following services:
* OpenAI
* Groq
* Anthropic
* Google Gemini
* SambaNova
When you select a provider, the CLI will prompt you to enter your API key.
#### Other Options
If you select option 6, you will be able to select from a list of LiteLLM supported providers.
When you select a provider, the CLI will prompt you to enter the Key name and the API key.
See the following link for each provider's key name:
