# openground list

> List available libraries and their versions

List libraries stored in the vector database or in the raw data directory.

## Commands

### list-libraries (ls)

List available libraries and their versions stored in the local vector database.

```bash theme={null}
openground list-libraries
openground ls  # Shorthand alias
```

#### Output Example

```
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Library    ┃ Versions                ┃
┡━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
│ langchain  │ latest                  │
│ openai     │ v1.0.0, v1.1.0, latest  │
│ mylib      │ latest                  │
└────────────┴─────────────────────────┘
```

### list-raw-libraries

List available libraries in the raw\_data directory (before embedding).

```bash theme={null}
openground list-raw-libraries
```

#### Output Example

```
Available libraries in raw_data:
langchain: latest
openai: v1.0.0, v1.1.0, latest
mylib: latest, local-2026-02-28
```

## Use Cases

### Check What's Installed

```bash theme={null}
# Check embedded libraries (in vector database)
openground ls

# Check extracted libraries (not yet embedded)
openground list-raw-libraries
```

### Before Querying

Verify which libraries and versions are available:

```bash theme={null}
openground ls
openground query "search term" --library langchain --version latest
```

### Before Removing

See what libraries exist before removing:

```bash theme={null}
openground ls
openground remove langchain --version latest
```

## Differences

| Command              | Source             | Status                     |
| -------------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------- |
| `list-libraries`     | Vector database    | Embedded and searchable    |
| `list-raw-libraries` | Raw data directory | Extracted but not embedded |

### Why Two Commands?

Libraries appear in `list-raw-libraries` after extraction but before embedding. Use this to:

* Debug extraction issues
* Check what was extracted before embedding
* See if raw files exist for re-embedding

* [openground remove](/cli/remove) - Remove libraries
* [openground query](/cli/query) - Search libraries
