Quickstart

Get Syntic Code running in under five minutes. By the end you will have installed the CLI, signed in, and run your first task.

1. Install

macOS / Linux

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

Windows (PowerShell as Administrator)

iwr -useb https://syntic.ai/install.ps1 | iex

The installer drops a single native binary at ~/.syntic/bin/syntic (or %USERPROFILE%\.syntic\bin\syntic.exe on Windows) and adds it to your PATH.

2. Verify

syntic --version

You should see the current version. If the command is not found, restart your shell or add ~/.syntic/bin to PATH manually.

3. Sign In

syntic login

This opens https://syntic.ai/cli-auth in your browser. Approve the device, return to your terminal, and the CLI confirms the session.

4. Start Coding

cd into any project and launch an interactive session:

cd ~/my-project
syntic

Type a task in plain English. Syntic Code will read the codebase, propose a plan, and execute it with your approval.

> add a /healthz endpoint that returns 200 OK with build sha
