how-to install ente-cli (Ubuntu) step-by-step

[ebon loom]

I'm a new user to Ente (web/photos) and I want to install ente-cli so I can increase my storage quota and other stuff from command line.
I can find the "manual" on how to increase the storage quota but I cannot find a step-by-step , command-by-command manual or instruction how to install and configure ente-cli

As said, I see some half manuals saying you need to download and compile the image from URL here and do a GO here but no actual step-by-step guide with what commands to use.
I am not a Linux user and no guru so a download this file in this folder and edit something here and run it is not sufficient for me (and maybe others).

I've found this official guide but this is not a step-commmand-step-command manual. This just states what you need and have in place (50%) https://ente.io/help/self-hosting/administration/cli

Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks (edited)Wednesday, 4 March 2026 13:45

“The easiest way is to download a pre-built binary from the GitHub releases.”

Download the appropriate tar for your system from the GitHub releases page by going to the readme. Pay attention to the bit version and architecture.

Linked below for your convenience.

https://github.com/ente-io/ente/releases?q=tag%3Acli-v0

Extract the tar, it has an Ente binary in it.

Chmod +x it to allow execution.

With a terminal go to the location that Ente file is.

Run commands from your documentation link with a ./

example:
./Ente add account
