100xprompt installs as a single binary with one command. There is nothing to configure first: the command downloads the right build for your machine, adds it to your PATH, and hands you a working AI coding agent. This page covers:

​
Overview

The one-line installer detects your operating system and CPU architecture, pulls the matching build, and wires up your shell. If you already use a package manager, 100xprompt is published there too.

​
System requirements

100xprompt ships prebuilt binaries. There is no runtime, compiler, or SDK to install first. The one-line installer needs only a couple of standard command-line utilities that ship with virtually every system.
RequirementDetails
Operating systemmacOS, Linux, or Windows
Architecture64-bit Intel/AMD (x64) or ARM (arm64 / Apple Silicon)
TerminalAny modern terminal emulator
Utilities (curl install)curl, plus unzip on macOS/Windows or tar on Linux
DiskA few hundred MB for the binary and cached data
On Intel Macs and older x64 CPUs without AVX2, the installer automatically selects a compatible baseline build. On Alpine and other musl-based Linux distributions, it selects the musl build. You do not need to choose - detection is automatic.

​
Install with the one-line installer

Suppose you’re on macOS or Linux and want the shortest path to a working agent. Use the one-line installer - it fetches the latest release and skips package-manager overhead.
1

Run the installer

Paste this into your terminal:
curl -fsSL https://100xprompt.com/install | bash
The installer downloads the build for your OS and architecture, places the 100xprompt binary under your home directory, and shows a progress bar.
2

Let it update your PATH

The installer adds 100xprompt to your PATH by editing your shell profile (your zsh, bash, or fish config). When it finishes, you see a welcome banner and a getting-started hint.
3

Reload your shell

Open a new terminal window, or reload your current one so the updated PATH takes effect:
exec $SHELL
Pass a version to the installer to pin an exact release:
curl -fsSL https://100xprompt.com/install | bash -s -- --version 1.0.180
If you manage your PATH yourself, skip the automatic profile edit:
curl -fsSL https://100xprompt.com/install | bash -s -- --no-modify-path
You will then need to add the install directory (~/.100xprompt/bin) to your PATH manually.

​
Install with a package manager

Suppose you’d rather manage 100xprompt alongside your other tools. Choose your platform and manager below. 
npm install -g 100xprompt-cli@latest
The npm-family package is published as 100xprompt-cli. Use that exact name with npm, bun, pnpm, and yarn. Homebrew and Scoop use the name 100xprompt.

​
Verify the install

Confirm 100xprompt is on your PATH and ready to go:
1

Check the version

100xprompt --version
You should see a version number. If your shell reports “command not found,” open a new terminal window so the updated PATH is picked up.
2

Launch it in a project

Move into any project directory and start the agent:
cd your-project
100xprompt
100xprompt opens in your terminal, ready to read your code and take instructions. On first launch it guides you to connect a provider. Free models are available, so you can start immediately.
If 100xprompt --version prints a version and the app launches, you are fully installed. Head to the quickstart to run your first task.

​
Keep it updated

100xprompt updates itself, no matter how you installed it. It detects your original install method and upgrades in place. 
100xprompt upgrade
This fetches and installs the latest release. To move to a specific version, pass it as an argument:
100xprompt upgrade 1.0.180
If you installed with a package manager, you can still run 100xprompt upgrade - it recognizes the manager you used and runs the right update command for you. Force a particular route with the --method flag, for example 100xprompt upgrade --method npm.

​
Uninstall

The guided uninstaller removes the binary, your PATH entry, and cached data - with a preview before anything is deleted.
1

Preview what will be removed

Run a dry run to see exactly which files and directories are in scope, without changing anything:
100xprompt uninstall --dry-run
2

Uninstall

100xprompt uninstall
You will be asked to confirm, then the uninstaller cleans up the binary, your shell PATH entry, and cached data.
Useful flags:
FlagWhat it does
--dry-runShow what would be removed without removing anything
--keep-configPreserve your configuration files
--keep-dataPreserve session data and snapshots
--forceSkip confirmation prompts
If you installed through a package manager, the uninstaller runs that manager’s removal command for you (for example, npm uninstall -g 100xprompt-cli or brew uninstall 100xprompt). You can always run those directly as well.
