title: Global Expo CLI
maxHeadingDepth: 4
---
import { Collapsible } from '~/ui/components/Collapsible';
import { Terminal } from '~/ui/components/Snippet';
The global Expo CLI `expo-cli` was succeeded by the local CLI `@expo/cli` in SDK 46. This documentation contains info on the now deprecated `expo-cli` package.
If you're using a project that is SDK 46 or higher, see [Expo CLI](/more/expo-cli/).
## Installation
The legacy Expo CLI can be installed as a global npm package on your development machine. To download and install it, run the following command:
Not versioning the CLI with your project lowers backwards compatibility, and makes it harder to use your project in continuous environments like GitHub Actions. To combat this, we moved to using a versioned CLI in SDK 46.
## Checking CLI Version
To check the current version of the global Expo CLI you are using, use the `--version` option.
## Commands
You can view the list of commands available with your version in your terminal using the `--help` option.
To learn more about a specific command and the options it may have, use `expo [command] --help`.
You will find a list of all commands derived from the latest version of Expo CLI.

### Other Notes
- Dev Tools UI has been deprecated in favor of the CLI's Terminal UI, Flipper, and Remote Debugging.
- `npx expo install` now supports installing the correct version of `react-native`, `react`, `react-dom` automatically.
- Tooling now supports `pnpm` along with Yarn and npm, the default is still Yarn.
- Dropped the deprecated `--config` argument across all commands. Use `app.config.js` instead.
- No longer shipping `adb` in the CLI. Users must manually install `adb` to interact with connected Android devices.
- Experimental `$EXPO_USE_APPLE_DEVICE` feature (`expo run:ios -d`) is now the default behavior. Global `ios-deploy` package is no longer required.
- `npx expo export` works like `expo export --experimental-bundle`, i.e. exports for `eas update` and not `expo publish`. [PR](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/17034).
- Dropped arguments: `--public-url`, `--asset-url`, `--merge-src-url`, `--merge-src-dir`, `-t, --target`, `--experimental-bundle`, `--config`, `-q, --quiet`
- Dropped aliases for `--dump-assetmap` (`-d`) and `--dump-sourcemap` (`-s`).
- Dropped warning about clearing `dist` folder that is shown between runs, this is akin to all other bundler commands across web tooling.
- Dropped all merging code because experimental bundle does not support index files so we don't need to support merging index files.
- Dropped the quiet flag as this appears to do nothing anymore.
- Parts of `expo upgrade` have been merged into `npx expo install` via the `--fix` and `--check` flags. [PR](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/17048).
- `expo doctor` has been deprecated in favor of `npx expo-doctor` for projects using SDK 46 and higher.
- Dropped unused generated `.exprc`, `.expo/packager-info.json` files.
- Dropped all deprecated support for `*.expo.js` files.
- Reduced usage of `.expo/settings.json` to provide a more sandboxed state between processes.
#### Environment Variables
- Dropped `$XDL_PORT`, `$XDL_HOST`, `$XDL_SCHEME`, `$SERVER_URL` in favor of `$EXPO_STAGING` and `$EXPO_LOCAL` environment variables.
