Install

The Promptster CLI is a single binary that configures your editor hooks, manages your session, and submits your assessment when you’re done.

System requirements

macOS (Intel or Apple Silicon), Linux (x64 or arm64), or Windows via WSL
curl or wget (for the install script)
Node.js is not required for the script install

Install script (recommended)
npm

Run the install script to download a pre-built binary directly to ~/.promptster/bin/promptster:

curl -fsSL https://get.promptster.ai | sh

The script detects your OS and architecture, downloads the correct binary, and adds ~/.promptster/bin to your shell profile (.zshrc or .bashrc).

After install, restart your shell or run the export line the installer prints to make promptster available in your current session.

If you already have Node.js installed, you can install via npm:

npm install -g @promptster/cli

Verify the install

promptster version

You should see a version string like 1.2.3. If the command is not found, make sure ~/.promptster/bin is in your PATH:

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

Add that line to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to make it permanent.

Keeping the CLI up to date

You don’t need to update manually. Every time you run promptster start, the CLI checks for a newer version and upgrades itself automatically.
