Installation

Use Homebrew by default when it fits your environment. The goal here is simple: install the CLI and get to your first working repo fast.

Supported Channels

• Homebrew for the cleanest default CLI path.
• npm when your environment is already centered around npm.
• PyPI / pipx when your environment is already centered around Python.
• Verified install script as the fallback path.

Recommended Commands

Homebrew

brew install 777genius/homebrew-plugin-kit-ai/plugin-kit-ai
plugin-kit-ai version

npm

npm i -g plugin-kit-ai
plugin-kit-ai version

PyPI / pipx

pipx install plugin-kit-ai
plugin-kit-ai version

Verified Script

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/777genius/plugin-kit-ai/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
plugin-kit-ai version

Which One Should Most People Use?

• Use Homebrew if you are on macOS and want the smoothest default path.
• Use npm or pipx only when that already matches your team environment.
• Use the verified script when you need a fallback outside package-manager-first setups.

After Install

Most people should continue straight to Quickstart and create the first repo on the default Go path.

If you chose pipx because your team is Python-first and you already know you want the Python path, continue with Build A Python Runtime Plugin.

CI Install Path

For CI, prefer the dedicated setup action instead of teaching every workflow how to download the CLI manually.

Important Boundary

The npm and PyPI packages are install channels for the CLI. They are not runtime APIs and they are not SDKs.

See Reference > Install Channels for the contract boundary.
