SnowflakeCLI(snow) is the next generation CLI.

The installer copies the Snowflake CLI application bundle to ~/Applications or /Applications. PATH is set for login shells only. Open a new terminal after install.

A machine-wide install, including Homebrew Cask, registers /etc/paths.d/snowflake-cli. It does not edit your shell startup files.

An install for your account adds one PATH line to ~/.zprofile for zsh, creating it if needed. For bash, it updates the first existing login profile: ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, or ~/.profile. It does not create one. If none exists, or if you use another shell, add this line to your shell configuration: export PATH="$HOME/Applications/SnowflakeCLI.app/Contents/MacOS:$PATH"
