# Fabric CLI
Guidance for using `fab` to programmatically manage Fabric & Power BI service
- Install via `uv tool install ms-fabric-cli` (get `uv` via `winget install uv` or `brew install uv`)
- Fabric CLI is for working with the Cloud environment and not local files; it works with Power BI Pro, PPU, or Fabric; you DO NOT need a Fabric SKU to use the Fabric CLI
- **Target version: ≥ 1.6.1.** Older versions lack `fab find`, the interactive REPL, `--format` on export, `fab deploy`, and several item types. Run `fab --version` to confirm. Key version deltas in [Fab CLI version history](#fab-cli-version-history) below.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Any time you encounter errors, user preferences or learnings when using the Fabric cli, ALWAYS note these down in the user memory rules, i.e. `.claude/rules/fabric-cli.md` for future improvement.
> This is ONLY for generic learnings and not for item- or task-specific learnings.
## When to use this skill

- Use when user asks about Power BI workspaces, deployment, tenants, publishing, download, permissions, or data
## Critical general rules
- IMPORTANT: The first time you use `fab` run check that it is up to date to the latest version and run `fab auth status`; If user isn't authenticated, ask them to run `fab auth login`
- Always use `fab --help` and `fab <command> --help` the first time you use a command to understand its syntax
