# Install

> Install the Amika CLI.

## CLI

The Amika CLI is a single binary that runs on macOS and Linux.

### Quick install

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gofixpoint/amika/main/install.sh | sh
```

This downloads the latest release, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and installs it to `/usr/local/bin`.

### Verify the installation

```bash theme={null}
amika --version
```

### Options

#### Install a specific version

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gofixpoint/amika/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --install-version 0.5.0
```

#### Custom install directory

Set `AMIKA_INSTALL_DIR` to install somewhere other than `/usr/local/bin`:

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gofixpoint/amika/main/install.sh | AMIKA_INSTALL_DIR=~/.local/bin sh
```

Make sure the directory is on your `PATH`.

#### Dry run

Preview what the installer would do without downloading or installing anything:

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gofixpoint/amika/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
```

### Supported platforms

| OS    | Architecture                           |
| ----- | -------------------------------------- |
| Linux | x86\_64, arm64                         |
| macOS | x86\_64 (Intel), arm64 (Apple Silicon) |

### Build from source

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/gofixpoint/amika.git && cd amika
make build-cli
# Binary is at dist/amika
```

## amikalog

[amikalog](/guides/capture-agent-sessions) is a separate, independently
versioned CLI that captures your Claude Code and Codex sessions. Install it
with the same script by passing `--component amikalog`:

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gofixpoint/amika/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --component amikalog
```

Pin a version with `--install-version` (amikalog releases under tags of the
form `amikalog@v*`):

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gofixpoint/amika/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --component amikalog --install-version 0.1.0
```

To build from source instead, run `make build-amikalog` — the binary lands at
`dist/amikalog`.

## SDKs

The TypeScript SDK is available now:

```bash theme={null}
npm install @amika/sdk
```

See the [TypeScript quickstart](/sdks/typescript/quickstart) to get started.
SDKs for more languages are on the way — in the meantime you can use the
[CLI](/reference/cli) or the [HTTP API](/reference/api-reference) directly.
