# Clients
Given the constraints, running dokku commands remotely via SSH is fine. For certain configurations, the extra complication of manually invoking ssh can be a burden.
While dokku does not yet have an official client, there are a multitude of ways in which you can interact with your dokku installation. The easiest is to use the **bash** client, though you may wish to use another.
## (bash) `dokku_client.sh`
Of all methods, this is the *most* official method of interacting with your dokku installation. It is a bash script that interacts with a remote dokku installation via ssh. It is available in `contrib/dokku_client.sh` in the root of the dokku repository.
To install, simply clone the dokku repository down and add the `dokku` alias pointing at the script:
```shell
git clone git@github.com:progrium/dokku.git ~/.dokku
# add the following to either your
# .bashrc, .bash_profile, or .profile file
alias dokku='$HOME/.dokku/contrib/dokku_client.sh'
```
Configure the `DOKKU_HOST` environment variable or run `dokku` from a repository with a git remote named dokku pointed at your dokku host in order to use the script as normal.
## (nodejs) dokku-toolbelt
Dokku-toolbelt is a node-based cli wrapper that proxies requests to the dokku command running on remote hosts. You can install it via the following shell command (assuming you have nodejs and npm installed):
```shell
npm install -g dokku-toolbelt
```
See [documentation here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dokku-toolbelt) for more information.
## (python) dokku-client
dokku-client is an extensible python-based cli wrapper for remote dokku hosts. You can install it via the following shell command (assuming you have python and pip installed):
```shell
pip install dokku-client
```
See [documentation here](https://github.com/adamcharnock/dokku-client) for more information.
## (ruby) Dokku CLI
Dokku CLI is a rubygem that acts as a client for your dokku installation. You can install it via the following shell command (assuming you have ruby and rubygems installed):
