# astro registry provider add

<Info>The behavior and format of this command are the same for both Astro and Astro Private Cloud.</Info>

Download a provider package from the [Astronomer Registry](https://registry.astronomer.io/) to the `requirements.txt` file of your Astro project.

## Usage

```sh wrap theme={null}
astro registry provider add
```

When you run the command, the CLI prompts you for a provider to download. To retrieve the provider name, open the provider in the Astronomer registry and copy the URL between `providers/` and `/versions`. For example, in the URL `https://registry.astronomer.io/providers/apache-airflow-providers-airbyte/versions/3.3.1`, copy `apache-airflow-providers-airbyte`.
