Install the AnyCap CLI

Recommended binary install

The install script selects the correct binary for macOS, Linux, or Windows through Git Bash:

curl -fsSL https://anycap.ai/install.sh | sh

The default non-root location is ~/.local/bin/anycap. The installer updates your shell profile when needed.

npm install

If your environment already standardizes on Node.js:

npm install -g @anycap/cli

Binary installation is usually faster to start and does not require a Node.js runtime.

GitHub Releases

Download a platform binary from AnyCap Releases, place it on PATH, and make it executable on Unix-like systems.

Verify the installation

anycap --version
anycap status

Update

The CLI checks for updates automatically. To update immediately:

anycap update

Fix anycap: command not found

A newly installed binary may exist before the current shell reloads its profile.

ls -la ~/.local/bin/anycap
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
anycap status

If that file does not exist, review the installer output for /usr/local/bin or a custom ANYCAP_INSTALL_DIR. If an older npm binary takes precedence, inspect the resolved path:

command -v anycap

Use the intended full path or put its directory earlier on PATH.
