Installation

The fastest way to get started with DBStudio is through our web-based dashboard and local CLI agent.

1. Create an Account

Head over to DBStudio Cloud and create your free account. Once logged in, you'll have access to your personal workspace.

2. Install the CLI

The DBStudio CLI acts as a secure bridge between your local database and the cloud interface. Install it globally using your favorite package manager:

# Using npm
npm install -g @dbstudio/cli

# Using bun (recommended)
bun add -g @dbstudio/cli

# Using pnpm
pnpm add -g @dbstudio/cli

3. Login via CLI

Authenticate your local machine with your DBStudio account:

dbstudio login

This will open a browser window to complete the authentication process.

4. Connect your first Database

Once logged in, you can start a bridge to a local database. For example, to connect a local PostgreSQL database:

dbstudio connect --type postgresql --database my_local_db --user postgres
