Rover
✨ 🤖 🐶 the new CLI for apollo
This is the home of Rover, the new CLI for Apollo's suite of GraphQL developer productivity tools.

- Fetch a graph from a federated remote endpoint.
rover graph fetch test@cats
- Validate recent changes made to your local graph with
rover graph check
.
rover graph check --schema=./path-to-valid-sdl test@cats
- Publish your local graph to Apollo Studio.
rover graph publish --schema ./path-to-valid-schema test@cats

Read the getting started guide by running:
$ rover docs open start
To begin working with Rover and to authenticate with Apollo Studio,
run the following command:
$ rover config auth
This will prompt you for an API Key that can be generated in Apollo Studio.
The most common commands from there are:
- rover graph fetch: Fetch a graph schema from the Apollo graph registry
- rover graph check: Check for breaking changes in a local graph schema against a graph schema in the Apollo graph
registry
- rover graph publish: Publish an updated graph schema to the Apollo graph registry
You can open the full documentation for Rover by running:
$ rover docs open

Installation Methods
curl | sh
installer
Linux and MacOS To install the latest release of Rover:
curl -sSL https://rover.apollo.dev/nix/latest | sh
To install a specific version of Rover (note the v
prefixing the version number):
Note: If you're installing Rover in a CI environment, it's best to target a specific version rather than using the latest URL, since future major breaking changes could affect CI workflows otherwise.
curl -sSL https://rover.apollo.dev/nix/v0.10.0 | sh
You will need curl
installed on your system to run the above installation commands. You can get the latest version from the curl downloads page.
Note:
rover supergraph compose
is currently not available for Alpine Linux. You may track the progress for supporting this command on Alpine in this issue.
Windows PowerShell installer
iwr 'https://rover.apollo.dev/win/latest' | iex
To install a specific version of Rover (note the v
prefixing the version number):
Note: If you're installing Rover in a CI environment, it's best to target a specific version rather than using the latest URL, since future major breaking changes could affect CI workflows otherwise.

npm installer
Rover is distributed on npm for easy integration with your JavaScript projects.
devDependency install
If you'd like to install rover
as a devDependency
in your JavaScript project, you can run npm i --save-dev @apollo/rover
. You can then call rover
directly in your package.json
scripts, or you can run npx rover
in your project directory to execute commands.
Manual download and install
If you'd like to call rover
from any directory on your machine, you can run npm i -g @apollo/rover
.
Note: Unfortunately if you've installed npm
without a version manager such as nvm
, you may have trouble with global installs. If you encounter an EACCES
permission-related error while trying to install globally, DO NOT run the install command with sudo
. This support page has information that should help to resolve this issue.
Without curl
You can also download the binary for your operating system and manually add its location to your PATH
.
Unsupported architectures
If you don't see your CPU architecture supported as part of our release pipeline, you can build from source with cargo
. Clone this repo, and run cargo xtask dist --version v0.1.3
. This will compile a released version of Rover for you, and place the binary in your target
directory.
git clone https://github.com/apollographql/rover
cargo xtask dist --version v0.1.3
From here you can either place the binary in your PATH
manually, or run ./target/release/{optional_target}/rover install
.
