Antigravity CLI command not found

If the terminal says the Antigravity CLI command is not found, treat it as a shell and PATH problem first, not a product outage.

What this error usually means

A command not found error usually means your shell cannot find the CLI executable. The install may have failed, the terminal may not have reloaded PATH, or you may have copied a command for the wrong shell. On Windows, this often happens when a PowerShell command is pasted into CMD or a CMD command is pasted into PowerShell.

Do not solve this by downloading a random binary from a forum. A developer CLI can read files, run commands, and edit projects, so installation should stay tied to the official Google documentation.

Fast fix checklist

  1. Close the terminal and open a new one so PATH changes can load.
  2. Confirm which shell you are using: macOS/Linux shell, PowerShell, or Windows CMD.
  3. Reopen the official getting-started page and copy the command for that shell.
  4. Run the CLI from a normal user terminal, not from a restricted script runner.
  5. Check whether the executable exists in the expected install directory.
  6. If it still fails, reinstall from the official source and capture the full installer output.

Shell-specific diagnosis

EnvironmentLikely issueWhat to check
macOS or LinuxPATH did not reload after install.Open a fresh terminal and verify the shell profile was updated.
PowerShellWrong Windows command copied.Use the official PowerShell command, not the CMD command.
Windows CMDPowerShell syntax pasted into CMD.Use the official CMD flow that downloads and runs the command file.
WSLInstalled in Windows but running inside Linux, or the reverse.Install and run inside the same environment.
SSH or remote VMInstalled for another user or session.Check the remote user's PATH and home directory.

FAQ

Does command not found mean Antigravity is down?

Usually no. It usually means the local shell cannot find the installed executable.

Should I reinstall immediately?

Restart the terminal and verify the correct shell command first. Reinstall only after checking PATH and shell mismatch.

Can Windows and WSL share one install?

Do not assume that. Windows and WSL have separate environments, paths, and home directories.
