Get xerj on Windows, macOS or Linux Now!
XERJ is the new way for AI to search data. Its autoindex capability activates agents to know your data without the token waste of grep and sed. One command indexes code, docs, logs and PDFs for search, RAG, security audits and agent memory, using 40x fewer tokens than grep. Elasticsearch compatible, so existing clients just work
Get xerj with one command
Pick your system, reveal the step-by-step guide, copy the command, paste it into your terminal and press Enter. This command was taken from the project's own documentation and checked against it.
Not available for Windows yet.
xerj doesn't publish an install command for Windows anywhere we can verify, so there's nothing for us to show you. We won't invent one. It does document one for macOS and Linux — switch to that tab.
Pastes into PowerShell and installs xerj on your Windows machine in one step — no manual setup, no build tools. It fetches the project's own install script and runs it, which is the standard way these tools ship — worth a read if you like to know what's running.

How to set up xerj, step by step
On Windows, open PowerShell (press Win, type PowerShell, hit Enter) and paste the command. On macOS or Linux, open Terminal — on a Mac it's in Applications ▸ Utilities, or press Cmd+Space and type Terminal — and paste the command there.
Run xerj --help to see the available commands, and
xerj --version to confirm the install worked. If your shell complains about
permissions, that project usually documents a corrected command on its own site.
This asks PowerShell to download a small installer script from the project, then execute it in memory. Nothing is saved to disk. The script is the project's own, but it's worth reading it first — that's why there's a note above.
What xerj does
- Reference coding: index the OSS projects nearest your problem and retrieve how they solved
- Security audits: index a target tree and query for sink patterns, secrets and dangerous
- Log and incident analysis: mixed formats become typed indices with the aggregations you
- Agent long-term memory: stores what an agent learns and recalls it
- Code search and security audits
- AI search and RAG: full-text, vector

On mobile
xerj 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.
