Installation

JeikCode provides several installation methods, ranging from automated one-line scripts to official package managers and standalone prebuilt binaries.

---

Recommended: Official One-Line Install Script

The script automatically detects your OS architecture (x86_64, aarch64, etc.), downloads the latest verified release, and sets up your environment PATH.

Linux / macOS / HarmonyOS PC

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeikl/JeikCode/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeikl/JeikCode/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

After installation, verify by checking the version in your terminal:

jeikcode --version

---

Desktop Graphical Installer (Recommended)

JeikCode offers a cross-platform desktop application built with Tauri 2.0. The desktop client embeds the full WebUI and automatically adds the jeikcode CLI binary to your system PATH (e.g. ~/.local/bin or Windows AppData path) on first launch:

• Windows: Download and run the .exe (NSIS) installer;
• macOS: Download the .dmg package and drag it to Applications;
• Linux: Available as .deb or standalone .AppImage.

All official packages can be downloaded from GitHub Releases.

---

Source Compilation (Cargo)

If you have the Rust toolchain installed (Rust 1.80+ recommended):

git clone https://github.com/jeikl/JeikCode.git
cd JeikCode
cd webui && npm run build && cd ..
cargo install --path crates/jeikcode-cli --bin jeikcode --locked

---

Prebuilt Binaries

You can also download standalone binaries directly from GitHub Releases:

Platform / Arch	Artifact	Description
Windows (x86_64)	.zip / NSIS installer	Extract and add jeikcode.exe to PATH or run installer
macOS (Apple Silicon / Intel)	.tar.gz / .dmg	Extract to /usr/local/bin or ~/.local/bin
Linux (x86_64 / aarch64)	.tar.gz / .deb / .AppImage	Standard package for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, etc.

Uninstallation

To remove JeikCode, run the uninstallation script:

Linux / macOS
