Install AID

AID is distributed across four install channels. All channels deliver the same aid CLI — the difference is only how aid lands on your PATH. Pick one channel per machine.

Choose your channel

Channel	Requires	Best for
curl / irm (online bootstrap)	Bash or PowerShell 5.1+	Most users — Linux, macOS, Windows
npm	Node >=18	Node-heavy environments; global install via npm
PyPI (pipx)	Python >=3.8	Python environments; isolated install
Offline bundle	Bash or PowerShell 5.1+	Air-gapped machines; teams pinning to a specific release

Follow the full install guide

The Installation guide has the complete per-channel and per-OS instructions, including:

• Bootstrap the aid CLI (Step 1) — pinned one-liners for Linux, macOS, and Windows across all four channels.
• Add AID to your project (Step 2) — per-tool tabs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot CLI, and Antigravity.
• Update and remove — staying current and cleaning up.

After install

Once aid is on your PATH, head to Your first work for a guided walkthrough of running your first work through the pipeline.
