      Did you mean `uv tool install crewai-cli`?

[LPX55]

Confirmed on my end as well. Found a handful of old threads, seems to be an unrelated issue as the fixes suggested, unsurprisingly, did not help (pre-v1.x)

Tried uv tool install --with crewai-tools crewai@1.14.x as well as --force

crewai-cli installs fine though, and from what I can see uv installs it as crewai anyways; perhaps documentation tweak as op suggested?

[devv2308]

I was able to reproduce this issue as well.

The problem appears to be that uv tool install expects the target package to expose at least one executable entrypoint. The crewai package does not currently provide a CLI entrypoint, while crewai-cli does.

Running:

uv tool install crewai

fails with:

Failed to install entrypoints for `crewai`

but:

uv tool install crewai-cli

succeeds and installs the crewai command correctly.

This looks more like a packaging/documentation mismatch than an installation failure. Updating the installation documentation to recommend uv tool install crewai-cli would likely prevent confusion for new users.
