<Tab title="Nix">

Install `runpodctl` from its [Nix flake](https://github.com/runpod/runpodctl) on Linux (x86_64, aarch64) or macOS (arm64). You need [Nix](https://nixos.org) with flakes enabled.

**Install:**
```bash
nix profile install github:runpod/runpodctl
Comment thread
promptless[bot] marked this conversation as resolved.
```

**Run without installing:**
```bash
nix run github:runpod/runpodctl -- pod list
```

<Note>
`runpodctl update` doesn't work on a Nix install because it replaces its own binary and the Nix store is read-only. Upgrade with `nix profile upgrade` instead.

This installs `runpodctl` globally on your system, so you can run commands from any directory.
