docs: rename litellm-proxy CLI command to lite - #313
Merged
Conversation
The proxy CLI console script was renamed from litellm-proxy to lite (BerriAI/litellm#29850), so the management CLI and CLI authentication pages now teach `lite ...` instead of `litellm-proxy ...`, including the "Installed 2 executables" hint. Env vars (LITELLM_PROXY_URL, LITELLM_PROXY_API_KEY), the litellm[proxy] install, and historical release notes are intentionally left unchanged.

Document the curl | sh installer alongside `uv tool install` in the management CLI and CLI authentication install steps, since it needs only curl and provisions a Python runtime when one isn't present.
…full proxy package
Switch the management CLI Quick Start (and SSO login steps) from the full litellm[proxy] install to the thin lite client: scripts/install-cli.sh, a Homebrew option, and uv tool install 'litellm[cli]'. Note that proxy operators already have lite bundled with litellm[proxy].

What
liteis the new recommended short command for the proxy CLI (BerriAI/litellm#29850); the existinglitellm-proxyname stays as an alias for the same CLI. These two living docs pages now teachliteas the primary command.management_cli.md and cli_sso.md use
lite ...for every invocation (lite login,lite models list,lite keys generate,lite whoami, and so on).The install steps now point at the thin
liteclient instead of the full proxy package: the one-linescripts/install-cli.shinstaller (needs only curl, and lets uv provision a compatible Python), a Homebrew option (brew install BerriAI/litellm/lite), anduv tool install 'litellm[cli]'. Anyone already running a proxy fromlitellm[proxy]getslitebundled with it, so for them this is just a renameScope
Only the CLI command examples and the install step were changed. Environment variables (
LITELLM_PROXY_URL,LITELLM_PROXY_API_KEY), placeholder URLs like<your-litellm-proxy-base-url>, k8s/docker resource names, JWT audiences/scopes, and bucket/service names are unrelated identifiers that merely share the string and were left untouched. Historical release notes that referencelitellm-proxyare point-in-time records and were not rewrittenMerge ordering
The thin-install paths only resolve once BerriAI/litellm#29850 ships:
scripts/install-cli.shhas to be onmain,litellm[cli]has to be published to PyPI, and the Homebrew formula has to be pushed to theBerriAI/homebrew-litellmtap. Merge this docs PR after that release so the commands work when a reader copies them
