Publish your first post with the CLI

You will install delulu, authorize it without copying tokens, connect a social account, and publish one post.

What you need

Node.js 20 or newer.
A browser for identity, social consent, and checkout.
Permission to publish in the selected workspace.

Step 1: Install and verify

npm install --global delulu-cli
delulu --version

The version command should print 0.2.0 or newer.

delulu login

The CLI opens one verification page and prints the same URL and short code to stderr. Sign up or sign in, choose the workspace and scopes, then approve. The terminal resumes automatically.

Run the live overview:

delulu

It reports your current workspace, setup state, subscription, publishing counts, and the highest-priority next command.

Step 3: Connect and publish

Connect a supported account. Replace linkedin with the platform you use.

delulu connect linkedin
delulu accounts

Copy the canonical selector returned by delulu accounts, such as linkedin:connection_abc123.

If the overview asks for payment, create checkout and finish it in the browser:

delulu subscribe --plan VIBE --interval MONTHLY --currency USD

Publish:

delulu post "Hello from Delulu" \
  --to linkedin:connection_abc123 \
  --now

The command waits for a terminal result by default. Keep the returned post ID if the command times out, then inspect the same post:

delulu show post_abc123

What you built

You authorized a workspace-bound client, connected a social account, and sent one atomic publish request. Next, add media or schedule a post.

Troubleshooting

AUTH_REQUIRED: run delulu login again.
Workspace is wrong: run delulu workspace, then delulu workspace use <selector>.
Account selector is ambiguous: use the canonical platform:connection-id value from delulu accounts.
Publish timed out: run delulu show <post-id>; do not repeat the publish with --new unless you intend to create a duplicate.
