Installing BashBuddy

Installing BashBuddy is easy! You just need to run the following command:

bash curl -fsSL https://get.bashbuddy.run/install.sh | bash

Verifying Installation​

To verify that BashBuddy is installed correctly, run:

bashbuddy --version

You should see the current version number displayed.

Next steps​

Once you have BashBuddy installed, you'll need to choose between using it locally, or using BashBuddy Cloud.

Using locally​

If your computer is not fast enough to run the AI model locally, you won't have a great experience.

Setup the local model by running:

bashbuddy local

You will be prompted to choose a model. The CLI will download and install the model for you.

Once the model is installed, you can start using BashBuddy by running:

bashbuddy ask echo 5 times 4

Using BashBuddy Cloud​

Refer to the BashBuddy Cloud page for more information.

Installing the alias​

Typing bashbuddy ask in your terminal all the time is slow. We expect you to be more productive than that!

To make it easier to use, you can install the alias by running:

bashbuddy alias

If installed correctly, you should be able to use bb instead of bashbuddy ask.

bb git commit add new feature with no verify
