- On a remote/headless Linux machine,
abp loginfails because ABP CLI tries to open a local browser usinggio open/xdg-open, and there is no GUI/browser available. - Use the device login flow instead:
abp login --deviceThis prints a verification URL and a code in the terminal. Open the URL on your local computer (with a browser), enter the code, complete the sign-in, then return to the terminal session; the CLI will finish login.
If you do want the “open browser automatically” behavior on Linux, install/configure a desktop environment + a browser and ensure
xdg-opencan find one (your error showswww-browser,links,lynx, etc. are missing). But for servers,--deviceis the recommended approach.If you want to verify connectivity from the server, ensure this endpoint is reachable:
curl -I https://account.abp.io/.well-known/openid-configurationLess obvious sources:
- https://abp.io/docs/latest/cli/
- https://account.abp.io/.well-known/openid-configuration

Hi,
The default
abp loginuses the OIDC authorization code flow, which tries to open a browser on the local machine. On a headless Linux server there is no browser to open, sogio open/xdg-openfail.Use the device code flow instead:
abp login --deviceYou will see something like:
[INF] Open your browser, go to: "https://account.abp.io/connect/verify" [INF] and enter the following one-time code: [INF] 4071-9666-6235Open the URL on any device with a browser (e.g. your laptop), enter the code, sign in, and the CLI on the Linux box will pick up the login automatically.
Thanks
