Run the macOS installer in Terminal, then check that the `socra` command is available. The installer includes the runtime the CLI needs. Product commands are provided by separate plugins.

On your Apple silicon Mac, run:

```sh
curl -fsSL https://cli.socra.cloud/install.sh | sh
```

Open a new terminal after installation and check the result:

```sh
socra --version
socra --help
```

The first command prints the installed version. Help lists the core commands and any installed product plugins. If `socra` is not found, read the installer's final output for its binary location and PATH instructions. A terminal opened before a PATH change may need to be reopened.

The installer selects a supported runtime for your operating system and processor. If it reports an unsupported platform or architecture, keep that error and check the [CLI installation page](https://cli.socra.com). Do not select an unrelated platform package to suppress the error.

Installation does not sign you in to an Account. To add the Account commands, run:

```sh
socra install account
socra account --help
```

Sign in before using commands that need Account access. For another operating system or processor, use the [CLI installation page](https://cli.socra.com).
