Installation

Install the crewkit CLI on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL.

Install the crewkit CLI to start managing your team's AI coding sessions.

brew install karibew/tap/crewkit

Verify the installation:

crewkit --version

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code must be installed (claude command available)
  • Git — crewkit detects your project from the git remote
  • Node.js 18+ (if installing via npm)

Platform notes

macOS — Homebrew is the recommended install method. Apple Silicon (arm64) is supported; Intel (x64) builds are not yet available.

Linux — Use the curl installer or npm. Builds are available for x64.

Windows — Use WSL and install the Linux build with any command above. Native Windows builds are paused, so the Chocolatey package is frozen at 0.4.1 and npm no longer ships a Windows binary. WSL also enables background observation, which is Unix-only.


Updating

crewkit update

To check for updates without installing:

crewkit update --check

For script-installed binaries, crewkit also checks for updates in the background (at most hourly) and installs them automatically after verifying the release signature; set CREWKIT_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 to disable. Installs owned by Homebrew, npm, or Chocolatey are never touched — crewkit tells you the right package-manager command instead.


Next steps

  • Quickstart: your first session
  • Configuration

crewkit

crewkit is the institutional memory and governance layer for AI-assisted engineering: agents work as teammates, prior work is one search away, and every session is attributed to the exact agent version that ran it.

Quickstart

Go from install to your first tracked session in under a minute.
