Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

• 🧵 CLI error

• 🧵 Variable is not being used properly in the Dockerfile

• 🧵 CLI railway run error

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

did you have a look to the docs?
https://docs.railway.com/guides/cli

why don't you just use npm?

This requires version =>16 of Node.js. I prefer that way.

Hey fuad47, I see what's going on from your screenshot, you downloaded the source code repo which needs to be compiled first. since you're trying to avoid Node.js v16+, the easier way is to just grab the pre-built executable.

go to https://github.com/railwayapp/cli/releases and download the actual Windows exe file - should be something like railway-v3.x.x-windows-amd64.exe if you're on 64-bit Windows. That's the ready-to-use program, not the source code you have now.

once you download it, just rename it to railway.exe and drop it in your D:\bin\ folder. Then you need to add that folder to your PATH so Windows can find it. Open cmd as admin and run:

setx PATH "%PATH%;D:\bin" /M

after that close your command prompt, open a fresh one and try:

railway --version
railway login

should work fine then

There are several ways to install it I am free to choose preferred option.

Hy fuad47, Did my answer help you fix the issue ?
