Quick Start

Up and running in seconds

One command to install, one command to launch — and the built-in Default provider needs no API key.

Install — Windows

irm https://seedcode-cli.vercel.app/install.ps1 | iex

PowerShell 5.1+. Downloads the official release, verifies its SHA256, installs per-user, and adds seedcode to your PATH.

Install — Linux

curl -fsSL https://seedcode-cli.vercel.app/install.sh | bash

Any bash shell — also works on macOS.

Launch

seedcode

Open a new terminal after installing so PATH changes apply. You land on the startup header and the chat prompt — the built-in Default provider is ready with no API key.
