@clix.vn/cli

Codein, the self-hosted AI coding agent for teams by CLIX, as a command line tool. This package installs the codein command.

Install

npm i -g @clix.vn/cli

Bun, pnpm and yarn work too. The binary for your platform (Linux, macOS or Windows; x64 or arm64) arrives as an optional dependency and a postinstall script puts it in place, so do not install with --ignore-scripts.

[!IMPORTANT] Run the install from any directory except a clone of the Codein source repository. The repository is a Bun workspace whose manifests use the Bun-only catalog: and workspace: specifiers, which npm cannot resolve, so npm i there fails with Unsupported URL Type "catalog:" or Cannot read properties of null (reading 'edgesOut'). To work on the source, use bun install instead.

The package installs two commands, codein and codein2, that run the same binary. If another codein earlier on your PATH hides it, run codein2.

First run

Codein signs every user in through Keycloak, which runs in Docker. The first codein in a terminal offers to set it up; you can also run it yourself:

codein keycloak setup   # needs Docker; starts Keycloak (with Postgres), oauth2-proxy and nginx
codein login            # sign in from the terminal
codein                  # start Codein in the current directory

See the repository README for the default accounts, the ports it uses, and how to deploy Codein on a shared host.
