Install OpenCLIs
Quick Install
macOS / Linux
Windows (PowerShell)
Windows (Git Bash)
curl -fsSL https://openclis.com/install.sh | sh
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; irm https://openclis.com/install.ps1 | iex
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process prefix is required because Windows blocks remote scripts by default. -Scope Process confines the change to the current PowerShell window — it closes, the policy reverts. This is the same pattern used by Chocolatey, Scoop, oh-my-posh, Volta, and most Windows CLI installers.A signed installer (.exe + winget) is in preparation and will let you skip this prefix entirely.curl -fsSL https://openclis.com/install.sh | sh
