Install skl

To install the latest release, run:

curl -fsSL https://tryskl.fyi/install.sh | sh

The script writes ~/.local/bin/skl, or ~/.local/bin/skl.exe on Windows Git Bash. It supports Linux x86_64 and aarch64, macOS on Intel and Apple silicon, and Windows x86_64. It does not edit .bashrc, .zshrc, or fish configuration.

In a terminal, the script then runs skl setup, which asks whether to log in and whether to import skills from home agent directories. Both default to yes. Answer n to skip a step. You can run skl login and skl init later.

If ~/.local/bin is not on your PATH, the script prints the line to add:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Add that line to your shell configuration yourself.

Install the binary only

To skip the setup prompts, for example in a script or on a CI runner, pass --non-interactive:

curl -fsSL https://tryskl.fyi/install.sh | sh -s -- --non-interactive

Setting CI or SKL_NON_INTERACTIVE has the same effect. A pipe or a non-terminal stdout also installs the binary only. See Installer for every flag and variable.

Install to another directory

Set SKL_INSTALL_DIR before running the script:

curl -fsSL https://tryskl.fyi/install.sh | SKL_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/bin sh

Build from source

Clone x0ba/skl and run:

cargo install --path crates/cli

Debug builds default api_base to http://localhost:8787. Release builds default to https://api.tryskl.fyi. Override either with --api-base or API_BASE.

Check the install

skl --version
skl doctor

skl doctor prints the config and data paths skl uses on this machine. Nothing else is needed before skl create or skl use.
