Follow these instructions to use the Mullvad command line interface (CLI) in your operating system's terminal.
 

Download

If you haven't already, first download the Mullvad VPN app and install it.
 

Create a path

Every time you open a terminal window, you will need to navigate to the folder where the program file is located in order for these commands to work. To avoid having to do so each time, you can create a permanent path. Once you've done this, you can type in commands without having to navigate anywhere.

In macOS
Open the terminal and run the following command:

export PATH="/Applications/Mullvad VPN.app/Contents/Resources:$PATH"

In Windows

1. In the Windows Start menu, search for and open advanced system settings.
2. In the System Properties window that opens, click on the Environment Variables button.
3. Under the System variables section, find and double-click on the row called Path.
4. In the new window that opens, click on New and enter "C:\Program Files\Mullvad VPN\resources\"

In Linux
You can run commands without creating a path, so you're set!
