# Forest CLI commands

You've seen in the previous section how [developing on Forest Admin](https://github.com/ForestAdmin/developer-guide/blob/main/build/nodejs/deployment/README.md) leverages our powerful **Forest CLI** to manage your UI changes.

### Installing Forest CLI

To install Forest CLI, run the following command in your terminal:

```
npm install -g forest-cli
```

For further details on the package, check out [this page ↗](https://www.npmjs.com/package/forest-cli).

### Using Forest CLI

In the following pages, we'll cover all available Forest CLI commands in detail, from introduction to advanced usage. For now, there are 6 commands:

* [login](/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/~/revisions/RIg7Xt85Z2LyzUxn7V93/deploying-to-production/forest-cli-commands/login.md)
* [init](/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/~/revisions/RIg7Xt85Z2LyzUxn7V93/deploying-to-production/forest-cli-commands/init.md)
* [branch](/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/~/revisions/RIg7Xt85Z2LyzUxn7V93/deploying-to-production/forest-cli-commands/branch.md)
* [switch](/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/~/revisions/RIg7Xt85Z2LyzUxn7V93/deploying-to-production/forest-cli-commands/switch.md)
* [set-origin](/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/~/revisions/RIg7Xt85Z2LyzUxn7V93/deploying-to-production/forest-cli-commands/set-origin.md)
* [push](/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/~/revisions/RIg7Xt85Z2LyzUxn7V93/deploying-to-production/forest-cli-commands/push.md)
* [environments:reset](/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/~/revisions/RIg7Xt85Z2LyzUxn7V93/deploying-to-production/forest-cli-commands/environments-reset.md)
* [deploy](/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/~/revisions/RIg7Xt85Z2LyzUxn7V93/deploying-to-production/forest-cli-commands/deploy.md)

Some additional commands might be added in the future. In the meantime, those should be largely sufficient to manage your development workflow.

{% hint style="info" %}
Be aware that almost all commands take the `FOREST_ENV_SECRET` env variable, provided on the command or inside your *.env* file, to know in which environment the command is run.
{% endhint %}
