Installation

Installation steps

1. 1

   Browser extension

   Curxor Browser Extension

   Chrome, Edge & other Chromium browsers

   Install the extension
2. 2

   Command-line tool

   Install with a single command — the service is registered and started automatically (launch at login), no manual start needed:

   macOS / LinuxWindows

   Copy Code

   curl -fsSL https://curxor.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --ensure-path

   --ensure-path adds the install directory (~/.local/bin; the user PATH on Windows) to your shell config so curxor works in a new terminal. Open a new terminal after installing — the current one only picks it up once you source that config.

   To upgrade, run curxor update to get the latest version. To only check: curxor update --check.

3. 3

   Environment check

   Once these three are ready, you're good to go:

   • curxor running: curxor status shows a green ● running plus Local: http://127.0.0.1:51999
   • Extension connected: the toolbar badge shows ON (green)
   • Project in dev mode: started with vite / next dev — production builds can't locate source (see troubleshooting)

System requirements

• Node.js 20+ — only needed when using built-in agents like Claude Code / Pi (Claude Code requires 22+)
• macOS, Linux, and Windows (desktop)
