Updating Replay CLI

Replay CLI will automatically notify you whenever there is a new version released. Running any command will show you a message letting you know that an update is available. This notification appears maximum once per 24 hours.

Terminal
A new version of replayio is available!
Installed version: 0.0.2
New version: 0.0.4

Press any key to continue

Authentication

Replay CLI requires you to log in when uploading your recordings. In a local environment, you can use replayio login command that opens a login page in a browser. When in a CI/CD environment, it’s not possible to use the same approach, but you can create an API key in Replay DevTools and add it to your CI/CD environment. Learn more in the docs on how to generate API key.
