👋🏼 @ivoisakovsSquid,

doctl is meant to be run locally on your machine. It will use the DigitalOcean API to manage your apps and fetch their logs (similar to the web interface at https://cloud.digitalocean.com).

The “install doctl” command is actually a link to the documentation page that explains how to install doctl on your operating system: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/apis-clis/doctl/how-to/install/

Hi there,

In addition to what has already been mentioned, another quick update here: You can now access the App Platform console directly from the CLI using doctl.

Docs are here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/console/#access-a-components-console-using-the-cli

Example:

doctl apps console <app-id> <component-name>  

Super useful! 🚀
