Procedure
Install DuckDB CLI
Install the DuckDB command-line client via the official install page (script, Homebrew, winget, or binary zip), ensure duckdb is on PATH, then verify with duckdb --version.
Step 1
Install the DuckDB CLI from https://duckdb.org/install/ (CLI tab). macOS/Linux: curl https://install.duckdb.org | sh then add ~/.duckdb/cli/latest to PATH as the script suggests, or brew install duckdb . Windows: winget install DuckDB.cli or download the zip from that page (MSVC Redistributable may be required). Alternative: unzip the platform binary and put duckdb on PATH.
Step 2
Open a new terminal so PATH includes duckdb.
Step 3
duckdb --version
