In this guide, we'll use the Replay CLI to record first.replay.io. If you'd like to record your Playwright or Cypress tests, feel free to jump ahead.

1

Install the Replay CLI

Run the following command to install the Replay CLI:

Terminal
npm i -g replayio
2

Record your replay

Run the following command to open the Replay browser and start recording.

Terminal
replayio record first.replay.io/

This command will:

  • Prompt you to login to your Replay account with Google (if not already logged in)
  • Install the Replay browser (if not already installed)
  • Open the Replay browser to begin recording first.replay.io

Inspect your replay

When you close the browser, you'll be prompted to upload your recordings. Once the upload is completed, you will get a url where you can inspect your app with Replay DevTools.
