Quickstart

1. Install and authenticate

Follow Installation, then check your connection:

vers whoami

Start an Ubuntu computer with a workload that stays running. --detach returns its ID so you can use it in later commands:

computer_id="$(vers run --detach --name quickstart ubuntu:24.04 -- sleep infinity)"

Startup continues in the background. Check the state and wait for running before continuing:

vers get "$computer_id"

Run a command inside that computer. Arguments after -- go to the command:

vers exec "$computer_id" -- uname -a

vers write "$computer_id" /tmp/hello.txt --content 'hello from Vers'
vers cat "$computer_id" /tmp/hello.txt

Delete the computer when you’re done:

vers delete "$computer_id" --yes

If deletion is still pending, follow the retry command printed by the CLI.

See every supported command and option.

Run an image from Docker, OrbStack, or Podman.
