AI integration in the Linux command line is growing, highlighted by tools like Ollama and the Gemini CLI. This tool allows users to access Google’s Gemini AI directly within their terminal for tasks like content generation, problem-solving, research, and task management. Originally aimed at developers, Gemini CLI is also user-friendly for non-developers seeking AI functionality without web browsers.
To install Gemini CLI on Ubuntu, users need Ubuntu Linux, a sudo-enabled user account, and a Google account. The process includes installing Node.js and npm using specific terminal commands:
sudo apt-get install nodejs -ysudo apt-get install npm -ysudo npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
Should errors arise, users can update Node.js and reinstall npm using provided curl commands. Upon successful installation, users follow prompts to log in via Google, providing a seamless AI experience directly in their terminal.
