The Photon CLI replaces the Dashboard web UI for everyday work. Manage projects, Spectrum users and lines, billing, and your developer profile — all from a terminal.
You can run it on Node.js 20.12 or newer — no additional runtime required.

Quick demo

After installing the CLI:

Command tree

Browse the automatic command reference. Run photon <command> --help for the full flag list of any command.

The pho alias

After installing globally, a pho shortcut is created automatically the first time you run photon:
The alias is only available for global installs — npx / bunx users don’t get it since they’re already typing the full package name.

Global flags

See the generated command and option reference. All other flags (--api-host, --project, --token, --json, --yes, --no-browser) are per-command and must appear after the subcommand name.
