OpenCLIs · Install

One line.
A living toolchain.

Install the registry, its credential vault, and the NIIA toolchain from one command. OpenCLIs reads the current release at install time — no version is frozen into this page.

Recommended install

curl -fsSL https://openclis.com/install.sh | sh

ReadyPATH is configured automatically. Open a new terminal, then run openclis.

What the line actually does.

The installer is a small release pipeline on your machine. It detects first, verifies before replacing the binary, and stops when no matching artifact exists.

01DetectRead the operating system and architecture.
02ResolveAsk the CDN for the current release metadata.
03VerifyCompare the archive against its SHA-256 checksum.
04PlaceInstall in ~/.openclis/bin and configure PATH.
05ExtendAdd the credential vault and chosen toolchain.

Choose the footprint.

The plain one-liner is the useful default. A smaller registry-only install and a custom first tool set use the same verified installer.

Default · recommended

Ready to work

Installs openclis, attempts openclis-vault, then installs the niia chain and its registered companions.

Minimal

Registry only

Set OPENCLIS_WITH=none. The platform and credential store remain; the NIIA chain is skipped.

Custom

Name the first tools

Set OPENCLIS_WITH to a space-separated list such as niia monogram.

Registry-only and custom commands

macOS, Linux, or Git Bash — registry only:

OPENCLIS_WITH="none" curl -fsSL https://openclis.com/install.sh | sh

PowerShell — registry only:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; $env:OPENCLIS_WITH="none"; irm https://openclis.com/install.ps1 | iex

Custom shell example:

OPENCLIS_WITH="niia monogram" curl -fsSL https://openclis.com/install.sh | sh

The first motion.

Search the registry, read the tool’s AI-facing contract, then install. The same three verbs work for the whole estate.

openclis search "code search"Find tools by the work you need done.
openclis init monogramRead the tool contract before adding it.
openclis install monogramInstall the binary and deploy its agent skill.
