Install strix with one command

Pick your system, reveal the command, copy it, paste it into your terminal and press Enter. This command was taken from the project's own documentation and checked against it.

PowerShell not published

What exactly does this do?

Open Terminal. On a Mac it's in Applications ▸ Utilities, or press Cmd+Space and type Terminal. On Linux, press Ctrl+Alt+T. Paste the command and press Enter.

Run strix --help to see the available commands, and strix --version to confirm the install worked. If your shell complains about permissions, that project usually documents a corrected command on its own site.

This downloads the project's shell installer and pipes it straight into your shell, which executes it without saving a file. Same caveat: it's the project's script, but read it first if you want to be sure.

On mobile

strix is a command-line tool, so there is no phone app for it — a phone has no shell to run it in. You'll need a desktop, or a remote shell into a machine that has one.

strix is developed by its own authors. This page is an independent reference; we are not affiliated with or sponsored by the project. The command shown here was reproduced from the project's public documentation — always check the project's own documentation before running anything.
