# snowflake-cli-labs — Snowflake CLI

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 253.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

snowflake-cli-labs is a deprecated package that has been renamed and consolidated into snowflake-cli. When installed, it serves as a redirect to the current Snowflake CLI package, which is the command-line interface for interacting with Snowflake databases and resources. The package depends on snowflake-cli as its single runtime dependency, meaning installation pulls in the active, maintained CLI tool.

The package is marked as inactive in its development status, signaling that new development has moved to snowflake-cli. If you encounter this package in existing code or documentation, you should migrate to installing snowflake-cli directly instead. The repository remains active with recent commits, suggesting ongoing maintenance of the underlying CLI tool itself.

Use it for:

- Migrating legacy code that references snowflake-cli-labs to use the current snowflake-cli package
- Ensuring backward compatibility in environments where snowflake-cli-labs was previously pinned as a dependency
- Understanding the transition from the labs version to the stable Snowflake CLI release

## Worth the install?

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

This package has been renamed and is now a redirect to snowflake-cli; installing it pulls in the current Snowflake CLI tool for managing Snowflake resources from the command line.

No. This package is a deprecated redirect to snowflake-cli. Install snowflake-cli directly instead. The fact sheet explicitly states 'This package has been renamed. Use pip install snowflake-cli instead.' There is no reason to use the labs version when the current package is available and actively maintained.

## Install

pip install snowflake-cli-labs
uv add snowflake-cli-labs
poetry add snowflake-cli-labs

## Installing snowflake-cli-labs

Before you install: Low install friction with a single pure-Python wheel dependency. Repository is active with recent commits, though the package itself is marked as inactive in its development status classifier.

License in practice: Apache License 2.0 is permissive; you may use, modify, and distribute this package freely provided you include the license text and document any changes you make.

Quickstart:

pip install snowflake-cli-labs
# This package redirects to snowflake-cli; use snowflake-cli commands directly
snowflake --version

Requires Python 3.10 or later.

Verify before relying:

- Whether snowflake-cli itself is the recommended long-term replacement or if there are other migration paths
- What specific features or functionality this labs version provided that may differ from the current snowflake-cli package
