Install

Use the install script unless you are developing Anode itself.

Supported Install Command

curl -fsSL https://get.coder.company/anode.sh | sh

Verify:

anode --help
anode tools list

If the command is not found, open a new shell and check that the install location added by the script is on PATH.

Connect A Provider

Set one provider key and run a smoke test:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="..."
anode -x "hello"

You can also run anode login for OpenAI.

Build From Source

Use the Go version declared in [go.mod]. From the repo root:

go build -o anode ./cmd/anode
./anode --help

For development, run directly:

go run ./cmd/anode --help
go run ./cmd/anode -x "summarize this repository"

Update

Check for and install the latest version:

anode update

Force re-download even if already on latest:

anode update --force

Install a specific version:

anode update --version v1.2.3

The updater downloads the binary for your platform, verifies the SHA-256 checksum against the release manifest, and atomically replaces the running binary. Restart your terminal after updating.

Uninstall

Preview removal:

anode uninstall --dry-run

Remove Anode data, config, sessions, and common installed binaries:

anode uninstall

Skip the confirmation prompt only when you mean it:

anode uninstall --force

If you built or copied a binary by hand, remove that binary yourself.
