# lamin_cli — Lamin CLI.

License: unclear · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 82.3K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Lamin CLI is a command-line tool for interacting with database instances, exposing the `lamin` command for file and data operations. It allows users to save, retrieve, and manage files within a workspace using simple command-line operations without writing code directly.

The package depends only on rich-click for its CLI interface, making it lightweight to install. It is actively maintained with a recent release. The tool is intended for users who want to programmatically or interactively manage data stored in a workspace from the command line.

Use it for:

- Save CSV or tabular data files to a workspace with a versioned key for reproducible data management.
- Retrieve and list files stored in a workspace from the command line during data pipeline workflows.
- Integrate file operations into shell scripts or CI/CD pipelines for automated data versioning.
- Manage datasets and results in a centralized workspace via CLI without writing Python code.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides a command-line interface for managing database instances, enabling operations like saving and retrieving files within a workspace.

Yes, if you need command-line access to file storage operations. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and integrates cleanly with its ecosystem. However, verify the license status before use in proprietary contexts, and confirm that your Python version is supported (currently unspecified in the metadata).

## Install

pip install lamin-cli
uv add lamin-cli
poetry add lamin-cli

## Installing lamin_cli

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (rich-click). Actively maintained with a recent release 11 days old, though the repository has minimal stars (3).

License in practice: License status is unclear—no SPDX identifier or raw license text is available in the package metadata. Verify the actual license before use in proprietary or restricted contexts.

Quickstart:

pip install lamin-cli
lamin save my_table.csv --key my_tables/my_table.csv

Requires an active instance to be configured; the package is typically installed as part of a larger ecosystem.

Verify before relying:

- Whether lamin-cli can be installed standalone or requires additional packages to function
- What Python versions are supported (requires_python is unspecified)
- Whether the package is actively maintained or in maintenance mode beyond the recent release
