DevBoy tools

    Installation

    This guide covers the supported install paths. Most users want the npm install. Pre-built binaries and a from-source build are documented below for niche cases.

    Prerequisites

    • An account for the provider(s) you'll use: GitHub, GitLab, Jira, ClickUp, Slack, or Fireflies (any subset).
    • For the build-from-source path only: Rust 1.75 or later and Git.

    Installation methods

    Single command — the correct binary for your platform is fetched automatically. Global install puts devboy on your PATH.

    npm
    pnpm
    yarn
    npm install -g @devboy-tools/cli

    After install, the fastest first run:

    devboy onboard      # auto-detects your AI agent + installs the right skill bundle
devboy doctor       # verifies provider config and credentials

    See Quick start for the full first-run flow.

    From source (for contributors)

    Build the binary yourself. Requires Rust 1.75+ and Git.

    git clone https://github.com/meteora-pro/devboy-tools.git
cd devboy-tools
cargo build --release
# Binary lands at ./target/release/devboy — copy to a PATH dir
sudo cp ./target/release/devboy /usr/local/bin/devboy

    From pre-built binaries

    Download pre-built binaries from the Releases page.

    macOS:

    # Download the latest release for your architecture
curl -L -o devboy.tar.gz https://github.com/meteora-pro/devboy-tools/releases/latest/download/devboy-macos-arm64.tar.gz

    Verify installation

    After installation, verify that DevBoy is working:
