Installation

1. Install T-Ex LLM CLI

npm i -g @vicoa/cli

To update to the latest version at any time:

npm i -g @vicoa/cli@latest

Check your installed version:

T-Ex LLM --version

Alternatively, you can install via pip:

pip install T-Ex LLM

Mac Intel users: The npm package does not yet include a pre-built binary for Intel Macs (darwin-x64). Use the pip installation method instead — see Mac Intel installation for step-by-step instructions.

Linux server users: If T-Ex LLM fails to start with a GLIBC_… not found error, your server's system glibc is older than the pre-built binary requires. Use the pip installation method instead — see GLIBC version error on Linux.

2. Install a coding agent (if needed)

Install one of the supported coding agents before setting up T-Ex LLM.

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

winget install Anthropic.Claude

npm i -g @openai/codex

npm i -g opencode-ai

npm i -g opencode-ai

3. Start a coding session

macOS / Linux

On macOS / Linux, a coding session will appear in the left sidebar of the T-Ex LLM web app.

On Windows, click New Session in the left sidebar to start a session. Learn more

4. Web Authorization

When you run T-Ex LLM or T-Ex LLM daemon for the first time, you'll be redirected to the web browswer to:

1. Create an account or sign in if you already have one
2. Authorize your CLI session
3. Send a message to your coding agent to test the connection

5. Mobile App

• iOS
• Android

Sign in with the same account you used on the web.
