Quickstart

This guide gets Avibe running on macOS or Linux with one chat platform and one coding agent.

1. Install Avibe

curl -fsSL https://avibe.bot/install.sh | bash
Open source — view the script on GitHub. The short URL is a 307 redirect to that file. Start it:
vibe
The browser setup wizard opens automatically. If it does not, use the local URL printed in the terminal.

2. Install a coding agent

Choose at least one backend. OpenCode:
curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash
Claude Code:
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Codex:
npm install -g @openai/codex
Verify:
opencode --version || true
claude --version || true
codex --version || true

3. Configure the setup wizard

In the wizard, choose:
  1. A chat platform: Slack, Discord, Telegram, WeChat, or Lark / Feishu.
  2. An agent backend: Claude Code, OpenCode, or Codex.
  3. A project working directory.
  4. The channels or chats where Avibe should respond.
No chat app yet? You can skip the platform step — the built-in Avibe Workbench (a local web chat in the Web UI) is always on. Send the smoke-test message below from the Workbench instead, and add a chat platform later. See the setup wizard.

4. Send a smoke-test message

In the enabled chat, send:
Say hello and tell me which project directory you are running in.
Then check local status:
vibe status

5. Take it with you (avibe.bot Cloud)

Your Avibe shouldn’t be stuck on your desk. From a phone, tablet, or borrowed laptop:
vibe remote
One command pairs you with a personal you-app.avibe.bot URL through a secure avibe.bot tunnel. Your data and agent runtime never leave your machine — only the Web UI traffic does. See avibe.bot Cloud for the full setup.
