Install raea

After this page you will have the raea command on your PATH and the raea skill installed for your coding agent.

#Install

On macOS with Apple Silicon, or on Linux on x86_64:

curl -fsSL https://raea.io/install | sh

On Windows 10 or 11, in PowerShell:

irm https://raea.io/install.ps1 | iex

Then check that it worked:

raea --version     # prints the version you installed
raea help          # lists every verb

The installer needs no account and no API key. Rendering, playing and checking all run on your own computer.

#What goes where

If ~/.local/bin is not on your PATH, the installer says so and prints the line to add to your shell's profile.

#Update

Run the installer again. It replaces the engine with the newest release that has a build for your machine and refreshes the skill:

curl -fsSL https://raea.io/install | sh

Then see what changed in What's new.

#Pick a version

Set RAEA_VERSION to install a particular release instead of the newest:

RAEA_VERSION=0.1.0-canary.3 curl -fsSL https://raea.io/install | sh

On Windows:

$env:RAEA_VERSION = "0.1.0-canary.3"; irm https://raea.io/install.ps1 | iex

#Installer settings

#The skill for other agents

The installer adds the skill for Claude Code. For another agent, install it where that agent reads skills:

raea skills install --agent codex     # also: claude, kimi, gemini

For Claude Code this also adds a hook that runs raea check --quick after each composition is saved and hands the agent what it finds. --no-hooks leaves the hook out.

If an agent's copy of the skill names a different version than raea --version prints, it should read raea skill instead: that is the skill exactly as your installed raea ships it.

#Build from source

From a checkout of the repository:

cargo build --release -p raea-cli     # the binary is target/release/raea
