Depending on your distribution, you will need to run the following command: * Debian/Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev` * Red Hat-based: `sudo yum install libsecret-devel` * Arch Linux: `sudo pacman -S libsecret` * WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) * ByteRover CLI works in WSL but has important setup considerations. * Your coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) must be able to access the WSL environment. * WSL may experience occasional performance or stability issues compared to native Linux/macOS. ByteRover CLI **does not support headless server environments** due to: * **Interactive Terminal (TTY) Required** - REPL requires a TTY-enabled terminal * **Browser Authentication Required** - OAuth login launches your default browser * **Desktop Credential Manager Required** - Linux uses `libsecret` requiring dbus/desktop environment * **Terminal UI Rendering** - React/Ink TUI needs cursor manipulation and resize events Unsupported: headless Linux servers, Docker without TTY, CI/CD pipelines, SSH without pty. ```bash theme={null} npm install -g byterover-cli ``` **Start using ByteRover CLI:** ```bash theme={null} cd to/your/project brv # Start the CLI ``` An onboarding process in the CLI will walk you through the first steps. That's it. You're ready to curate context for your coding agents. This quickstart guide will have you using ByteRover's basic workflow in just a few minutes ## What ByteRover does for you ByteRover is a context engineering platform that lets you: * **Curate context** for your coding agents—patterns, decisions, and learnings * **Pair with agents** to capture context from their tasks automatically * **Sync context** across team members so everyone works with the same knowledge Zero manual context management. No markdown files cluttering your codebase. We handle the organization while you focus on coding. ## Why developers love ByteRover Your AI remembers everything across sessions. No more starting from scratch or repeating context in every conversation. Works with 15+ AI tools: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Gemini CLI, Goose, and more. Switch tools without losing context. Shared knowledge base across team members. Everyone has access to the same patterns, decisions, and solutions. ## Next steps Complete setup guide with prerequisites and platform-specific instructions.
