This topic describes how developers can push an application with multiple buildpacks.

<p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: As an alternative to the cf CLI procedure below, you can specify multiple buildpacks in your <a href="../devguide/deploy-apps/manifest.html#buildpack">application manifest</a>. This is not compatible with <a href="..//devguide/deploy-apps/manifest.html#deprecated">Deprecated App Manifest Features</a>.</p>

For more information about pushing applications to <%= vars.product_full %>, see the [Deploying an Application](../devguide/deploy-apps/deploy-app.html) topic.

##<a id='cfcli'></a> Specifying Buildpacks with the cf CLI

To push an application with multiple buildpacks using the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface (cf CLI), perform the following procedure:

<p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: You must use cf CLI v6.38 or later.</p>

1. Run the following command to ensure that you are using the cf CLI v6.38 or later:
  <pre class="terminal">$ cf version
  </pre>
  For more information about upgrading the cf CLI, see [Installing the cf CLI](../cf-cli/install-go-cli.html).
1. To push your app with multiple buildpacks, specify each buildpack with a `-b` flag: 
  <pre class="terminal">
  $ cf push YOUR-APP -b BUILDPACK-NAME-1 -b BUILDPACK-NAME-2 ... -b FINAL-BUILDPACK-NAME
  </pre>
  The last buildpack you specify is the **final buildpack**, which can modify the launch environment and set the start command.
  <br><br>
  To see a list of available buildpacks, run `cf buildpacks`.

For more information on multi-buildpack order, see the [Buildpacks](understand-buildpacks.html) topic.
