Command-line interface

When you install Streamlit, a command-line (CLI) tool gets installed as well. The purpose of this tool is to run Streamlit apps, change Streamlit configuration options, and help you diagnose and fix issues.

Available commands

• streamlit cache clear: Clear the on-disk cache.
• streamlit config show: Show all configuration options.
• streamlit docs: Open the Streamlit docs.
• streamlit hello: Run an example Streamlit app.
• streamlit help: Show the available CLI commands.
• streamlit init: Create the files for a new Streamlit app.
• streamlit run: Run your Streamlit app.
• streamlit skills: Install Streamlit AI-agent skills.
• streamlit version: Show the version of Streamlit.

Run your app

The most important command is streamlit run, which is summarized for convenience here:

streamlit run your_script.py

At any time, in your terminal, you can stop the server with Ctrl+C.
