`dr dependencies` - Dependency management

The dr dependencies command checks and installs the prerequisite tools required by your DataRobot template.

Synopsis

dr dependencies <command> [flags]

Description

The dependencies command verifies that required tools (such as Python, uv, Task, Pulumi, NodeJS ...) are installed and meet the minimum version requirements declared in your project's .datarobot/cli/versions.yaml file. Use it to diagnose missing tools before running other commands, or to install missing tools in one step.

Subcommands

`check`

Verify that all required template dependencies are installed and meet the minimum version requirements.

dr dependencies check

Example output:

# All dependencies satisfied
$ dr dependencies check
✅ All dependencies are already up to date.

# Missing or wrong-version tools
$ dr dependencies check
 ❌ Missing required tools:

    - uv  (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)

 ⚠️ Wrong versions of tools:

    - Python (minimal: v3.9.0, installed: v3.8.0)
      https://www.python.org/downloads/

Exit code is non-zero when any tool is missing or has an insufficient version.

`install`

Install missing or out-of-date template dependencies. The command first checks prerequisites, reports what is missing, then prompts you for confirmation before running each tool's platform-specific install command.

dr dependencies install [flags]

Flags:

Flag	Short	Description
`--yes`	`-y`	Assume "yes" as answer to the install prompt — skip interactive confirmation.

Environment variables:

Variable	Description
`DATAROBOT_CLI_NON_INTERACTIVE`	Equivalent to `--yes`. Set to any truthy value to skip the install prompt.

Example — set for a single command:

DATAROBOT_CLI_NON_INTERACTIVE=true dr dependencies install

Example — export for the current shell session:

export DATAROBOT_CLI_NON_INTERACTIVE=true
dr dependencies install

Example — interactive:

$ dr dependencies install

 ❌ Missing required tools:

    - uv  (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)

Install now? (y/n): y
Installing uv...

Example — non-interactive:

$ dr dependencies install --yes
# or
$ DATAROBOT_CLI_NON_INTERACTIVE=true dr dependencies install

Example — nothing to install:

$ dr dependencies install
✅ All dependencies are already up to date.

Examples

Check before running tasks

# Verify dependencies are in place before starting development
dr dependencies check
dr run dev

Install all missing tools at once

# Install without being prompted for confirmation
dr dependencies install -y

CI/CD usage

# In a CI pipeline where stdin is not available
DATAROBOT_CLI_NON_INTERACTIVE=true dr dependencies install

`versions.yaml` schema

The CLI reads tool requirements from .datarobot/cli/versions.yaml in your repository. Each top-level key is a tool identifier; the value is a map with the following fields:

<tool-key>:
  name: string            # Display name shown in messages
  minimum-version: semver # Minimum acceptable version (e.g. "3.9.0")
  command: string         # Command used to check/run the tool (e.g. "python3")
  url: string             # URL shown when the tool is missing or outdated
  install:
    macos: string         # Install command for macOS (e.g. "brew install python")
    linux: string         # Install command for Linux (e.g. "sudo apt-get install python3")
    windows: string       # Install command for Windows (optional)

Field rules:

Field	Required	Format	Notes
`name`	Yes	string	—
`minimum-version`	Yes	semver	Must be a valid semantic version, e.g. `3.9.0`
`command`	Yes	string	—
`url`	Yes	string	—
`install.macos`	Yes	string	—
`install.linux`	Yes	string	—
`install.windows`	No	string	Optional for Milestone 1

Validation behavior:

The CLI validates the file on load and logs diagnostics without failing the command:

Missing required field (name, minimum-version, command, url, install.macos, install.linux) → WARN logged.
minimum-version present but not a valid semantic version → WARN logged.
install block entirely absent → WARN logged.
Required install command missing for the current platform → ERROR logged.
Required install command missing for a non-current platform → WARN logged.

Example:

---
dr:
  name: DataRobot CLI
  minimum-version: 0.2.0
  command: dr self version
  url: https://github.com/datarobot-oss/cli
  install:
    macos: brew install datarobot-cli
    linux: curl -fsSL https://get.datarobot.com/cli | sh
python:
  name: Python
  minimum-version: 3.9.0
  command: python3
  url: https://www.python.org/downloads/
  install:
    macos: brew install python
    linux: sudo apt-get install python3
uv:
  name: uv Python package manager
  minimum-version: 1.7.0
  command: uv self version
  url: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/
  install:
    macos: brew install uv
    linux: curl -Ls https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
