The Sovara CLI is a standalone binary named sovara. It is not installed by the Python SDK or TypeScript runner. Installing the CLI does not require the desktop app. sovara status checks the active app-server connection: keep the desktop app running for Local, or add and select a remote app-server connection in the desktop app. The CLI has no separate app-server setting. SDK runs can also start the local execution server when needed.
