why clive

features

Built for power users who live in the terminal.

  • Dual interface

    Run interactively as a full TUI, or pipe commands through CLI for scripting.

  • Encrypted wallets

    Beekeeper stores keys in encrypted wallets — never raw on disk. Unlock once.

  • Mouse-driven TUI

    Click buttons inside your terminal. Midnight Commander aesthetics, modern ergonomics.

  • Profile system

    Working account, watched accounts, key aliases, and node list — bundled per profile.

  • Transaction cart

    Batch operations, auto-pick the right key, sign and broadcast atomically.

  • Hive blockchain native

    Transfers, delegations, votes, governance, recovery, RC — key Hive operations, terminal-native.

$ bash <(curl -s get.clive.sh)

get clive

install

One command. Pulls Clive and sets up your Beekeeper wallet.

Prerequisite Docker installed and running. The script pulls the hiveio/clive image and starts a container. Install Docker
bash <(curl -s https://gtg.openhive.network/get/clive/start_clive.sh)

Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows — Docker required.
