Hi,

Run your installed cli-tool and got:

pavel@pavel-VirtualBox:~/projects/namecheap$ namecheap --help
/usr/lib/node_modules/namecheap-cli/lib/NamecheapClient.js:16
    throw new Error('ipAddress missing: use NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS environment variable')
    ^

Error: ipAddress missing: use NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS environment variable

What is the NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS environment variable?

To use the namecheap CLI tool, you'll need to request API access in your namecheap account.

https://www.namecheap.com/support/api/intro/

The Namecheap API appears to require your clients to use a static IP, so it's really more designed for resellers than pure CLI access.

NamecheapClient.js appears to use Node's config package

https://www.npmjs.com/package/config

   config.ipAddress = config.apiAddress || process.env['NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS']¬
   config.apiKey = config.apiKey || process.env['NAMECHEAP_API_KEY']¬
   config.apiUser = config.apiUser || process.env['NAMECHEAP_API_USER']
