# E2B CLI

This CLI tool allows you to build manager your running E2B sandbox and sandbox templates. Learn more in [our documentation](https://e2b.dev/docs).

### 1. Install the CLI

**Using Homebrew (on macOS)**

```

### 2. Authenticate

> To authenticate without the ability to open the browser, provide
> `E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN` as an environment variable. You can find your token
> in Account Settings under the Team selector at [e2b.dev/dashboard](https://e2b.dev/dashboard). Then use the CLI like this:
> `E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN=sk_e2b_... e2b template create`.
