I have installed the Salesforce CLI version 6.44 in my new Mac. The installation runs smoothly with no errors. Then I run the command 'sfdx --help' in the terminal window. It gives neither any error nor any output.

Have probably missed something?

  • don't think that's a valid command, try sfdx --version

  • I agree. That is not a valid command. It's same when I run 'sfdx --version', nothing happens. Is there a way to see something is going wrong?

  • If you go in to a terminal, what's the output of which sfdx?

You should be able to get some logs by looking into USER_HOME_DIR/.sfdx/sfdx.log .

If you are on macOS then simply cd into the home directory using cd $HOME and then cd again to the .sfdx folder .

You will find sfdx.log file if you open the .sfdx folder .This should have more info for you .

If you are behind the firewall , then update your environment variables as per the below instructions

    Somehow this started working now. I believe it is related to some setup done by Infra guys when provisioning my new MacBook. I have to setup the HTTP_PROXY to use SFDX CLI behind corporate firewall.

When installing Salesforce CLI with npm, you install the sfdx and sf executables separately using the commands below:

sfdx executable: npm install sfdx-cli --global

sf executable: npm install @salesforce/cli --global

If you miss installing the second executable your CLI won't be complete and it won't show anything.
