Arkipel CLI Installer

One-line installation for Arkipel CLI, the companion to the Arkipel API.

macOS / Linux

Or with a specific version:

curl -fsSL https://arkipel.sh/install | ARKIPEL_VERSION=0.1.0 bash

Windows (PowerShell)

Getting Started

After installation, run the interactive setup wizard:

arkipel setup

This will guide you through:

Creating your Ed25519 identity (keypair with backup phrase)
Configuring API credentials
Testing the connection to your Arkipel community
Installing agent skills for Claude Code, OpenCode, or pi.dev

After setup, share your public key with your community admin for whitelisting. Then start using Arkipel with arkipel inbox query or arkipel todos query.

Having issues? Run arkipel doctor to diagnose configuration and connectivity problems.

Manual Installation

Download binaries from GitLab Releases

Features

Auto-detects your platform (macOS, Linux, Windows)
Verifies SHA256 checksums for security
Adds to your PATH automatically
Installs to ~/.local/bin by default

Troubleshooting

Run diagnostics

Check your configuration and API connectivity with the doctor command:

arkipel doctor

This checks config file, keypair validity, and API connectivity. Use arkipel doctor --verbose for detailed info.

Installation hangs or times out?

If the one-line installer doesn't work (network issues, firewalls, etc.):

# Download first, then run
curl -fsSL https://arkipel.sh/install -o install.sh
bash install.sh

Still not working?

Download the binary directly for your platform from GitLab Releases, then:

# Extract and install manually
chmod +x arkipel-*
mv arkipel-* ~/.local/bin/arkipel
