Sling for Everyone

Install with Ease

It is trivial to install Sling CLI. We support all the major operating systems.

# Install sling
curl -fsSL https://slingdata.io/install.sh | bash

# Or with brew
brew install slingdata-io/sling/sling

# You're good to go!
sling -h

# Load a file into Postgres
export MY_PG='postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database'

sling run --src-stream file:///path/to/myfile.csv \
  --tgt-conn MY_PG --tgt-object public.my_new_data

# Install sling (PowerShell)
irm https://slingdata.io/install.ps1 | iex

# Or with scoop
scoop bucket add sling https://github.com/slingdata-io/scoop-sling.git
scoop install sling

# You're good to go!
sling -h

# Load a file into Postgres using PowerShell
$env:MY_PG = 'postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database'

sling run --src-stream file:///path/to/myfile.csv \
  --tgt-conn MY_PG --tgt-object public.my_new_data

# Install sling
curl -fsSL https://slingdata.io/install.sh | bash

# You're good to go!
sling -h

# Load a file into Postgres
export MY_PG='postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database'

sling run --src-stream file:///path/to/myfile.csv \
  --tgt-conn MY_PG --tgt-object public.my_new_data

# Pull the latest version of sling
docker pull slingdata/sling

# You're good to go!
docker run --rm -i slingdata/sling --help

# Load a file into Postgres
export MY_PG='postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database'

docker run --rm -i -e MY_PG -v /path/to/myfile.csv \
  slingdata/sling run --src-stream file:///path/to/myfile.csv \
  --tgt-conn MY_PG --tgt-object public.my_new_data

# First install sling with `pip install sling`

import yaml
from sling import Replication

with open('path/to/replication.yaml') as file:
  config = yaml.load(file, Loader=yaml.FullLoader)

replication = Replication(**config)

replication.run()

Verify your install

Confirm Sling is on your PATH and check the version:

sling --version
sling -h

If sling isn't found, the installer prints the directory it wrote to — add it to your PATH and re-open your terminal. See the getting started guide for platform-specific notes.

Next steps

Configure a connection — point Sling at your database, file system, or API.
Run your first replication — move data with a single command or a YAML file.
Try CLI Pro — parallel streams, chunking, capture-deletes, pipelines, OpenTelemetry, and more.
Explore the Platform — scheduling, monitoring, and self-hosted agents.
