# Installation

> Install Actionbook CLI and run setup

Install Actionbook CLI to use Actionbook from terminal and AI agents.

## Step 1: Install the CLI

Choose the method that works best for you:

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @actionbookdev/cli
```

Requires Node.js >= v18. Upgrade with `npm install -g @actionbookdev/cli@latest`.

Verify the installation:

```bash theme={null}
actionbook --version
```

The CLI uses your existing system browser (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Chromium).

## Step 2: Run setup

```bash theme={null}
actionbook setup
```

Setup helps install/configure skills for your agent environment.

<Tip>
  Actionbook runs a local browser by default. To connect to cloud-hosted browsers (driver.dev, hyperbrowser.ai, browser-use.com), see [Cloud Providers](/guides/browser#cloud-providers).
</Tip>

## Building from Source

If you prefer to build from source:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/actionbook/actionbook.git
cd actionbook/packages/cli
cargo install --path . --locked
```

Requires Rust 1.70+ and Cargo.
