# Quickstart for your coding agent

> The fastest way to get started with Edgee. Two commands to install, authenticate, and launch your coding assistant with compression.

The Edgee CLI is the fastest way to use Edgee with your AI coding assistant. It handles account creation, authentication,
and tool configuration automatically, no manual API key setup or environment variables needed.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the CLI">
    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="macOS / Linux">
        ```bash theme={"dark"}
        curl -fsSL https://edgee.ai/install.sh | bash
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Homebrew (macOS)">
        ```bash theme={"dark"}
        brew install edgee-ai/tap/edgee
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Windows (PowerShell)">
        ```powershell theme={"dark"}
        irm https://edgee.ai/install.ps1 | iex
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch your coding assistant">
    ```bash theme={"dark"}
    edgee launch claude
    ```

    That's it. Claude Code is now running with Edgee compression and full observability enabled.

    For Codex users:

    ```bash theme={"dark"}
    edgee launch codex
    ```

    For OpenCode users:

    ```bash theme={"dark"}
    edgee launch opencode
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

After your session ends, the CLI prints a link to view your session analytics, token usage,
compression savings, and cost breakdown, directly in the [Edgee Console](https://www.edgee.ai).

<Note>
  The CLI requires [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview) or [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex) to be installed on your machine.
