Does the pulumi CLI need to be installed to use the automation API?
f
The automation api seems to call out to the cli binary, so yes. We haven't found a way to run it without the cli at least.
c
Ah gotcha
s
Yes, the CLI has to be installed
c
is there a way to explicitly declare where the cli binary is? Or does it just have to be in PATH?
s
AFAIK it just has to be in the PATH
l
We do offer a rest API via #pulumi-deployments that enables you to to similar things but without the CLI dependency.
c
I would need to run a server though right?
s
No, this would be using Deployments, which is hosted on Pulumi Cloud.
