Migrate from the earlier Linux commands

The tuple command on Linux is now the Tuple CLI, the same CLI that ships with the macOS and Windows clients. Some commands from the original Linux client are gone, some are renamed, and some still work unchanged. Run tuple --help to see which commands your installed version supports.

Removed commands

These commands no longer work. Use the Tuple CLI command instead.

Earlier command	Tuple CLI command	Notes
`tuple call`	`tuple call start <person>`	Pass the person to call. The earlier command prompted you to pick from your online favorites. To see them, run `tuple contacts list --favorited --status online`.
`tuple join <url>`	`tuple call join <person-or-url>`	Also accepts a contact or a room slug. Pass `--switch` to leave your current call first.
`tuple end`	`tuple call leave`	Leaves the current call.
`tuple ls`	`tuple contacts list`	Supports filters such as `--query`, `--status`, and `--favorited`.
`tuple favorite <user-id>`	`tuple contacts favorite <person>`	`<person>` matches a contact’s name or email address.
`tuple unfavorite <user-id>`	`tuple contacts unfavorite <person>`	`<person>` matches a contact’s name or email address.
`tuple mute`	`tuple call mute`
`tuple unmute`	`tuple call unmute`

If a <person> argument matches more than one contact, the command fails and lists the matches. Use a more specific name or the full email address. See the command reference for every flag.

Renamed commands

These commands have new names. The earlier names still work but print a warning, so update your scripts.

Earlier command	Tuple CLI command
`tuple on`	`tuple start`
`tuple off`	`tuple stop`

Unchanged commands

These Linux-only commands work as before:

tuple login
tuple auth <code>
tuple logout

tuple version and tuple --version print the app version. These commands still work but are deprecated:

tuple new
tuple share and tuple unshare
tuple ui
tuple settings and tuple set <name> <value>

See Tuple for Linux for details on Linux-only and deprecated commands.

Example

An earlier script:

tuple on
tuple join https://tuple.app/c/example
tuple mute
tuple end
tuple off

The same script with the Tuple CLI:

tuple start
tuple call join https://tuple.app/c/example
tuple call mute
tuple call leave
tuple stop
