Install Avibe

Avibe runs locally on the machine where your data and coding agents live.

macOS and Linux

curl -fsSL https://avibe.bot/install.sh | bash
Open source — view the script on GitHub or audit it before running. The short URL is a 307 redirect to that file. Verify the install:
vibe version
vibe doctor
Start the service and setup wizard:
vibe

Windows

The recommended Windows path is WSL:
  • Use Windows for your browser and chat apps.
  • Use Ubuntu in WSL for Avibe, agent CLIs, and your code repository.
From Ubuntu in WSL:
curl -fsSL https://avibe.bot/install.sh | bash
vibe
Native PowerShell installation is available, but WSL is usually smoother for Python, Node, Git, and coding agent CLIs:
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/avibe-bot/avibe/master/install.ps1 | iex

Audit before running

Prefer to read the script before piping it to bash? Fetch it locally first, inspect it, then run it:
curl -fsSL https://avibe.bot/install.sh -o install.sh
cat install.sh           # or: less install.sh
bash install.sh
https://avibe.bot/install.sh is a 307 redirect to the same file on GitHub raw, so both URLs serve identical content.

What the installer does

The installer:
  • Installs the vibe CLI.
  • Uses PyPI first and falls back to GitHub when needed.
  • Prints PATH guidance if the command is installed but not visible in the current shell.
  • Leaves your chat platform credentials and agent credentials for the setup wizard.

Upgrade

Re-run the installer:
curl -fsSL https://avibe.bot/install.sh | bash

Uninstall

Only remove local state if you no longer need your Avibe configuration:
vibe stop
uv tool uninstall avibe-os
uv tool uninstall vibe-remote  # legacy installs
rm -rf ~/.avibe ~/.vibe_remote
