Install

macOS & Linux · Node.js 22+

One command installs Crewly, the AI tools and skills. Install Node.js 22 or newer first (the installer from nodejs.org, or Homebrew / your package manager), then run the command.

Prefer npm? npm install -g crewly works when your Node comes from Homebrew or the nodejs.org installer.
