Install the standalone CLI binary and skip the wizard.\n\n**macOS / Linux**\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://archon.diy/install | bash\n```\n\n> **x64 compatibility:** The macOS/Linux quick install requires AVX2 on x64\n> CPUs. Older Intel/AMD hardware and virtual machines that mask AVX2 should use\n> the [source installation guide](https://archon.diy/getting-started/installation/#from-source).\n> ARM64 quick installs are unaffected.\n\n**Windows (PowerShell)**\n```powershell\nirm https://archon.diy/install.ps1 | iex\n```\n\n**Homebrew**\n```bash\nbrew install coleam00/archon/archon\n```\n\n> **Compiled binaries need a `CLAUDE_BIN_PATH`.** The quick-install binaries\n> don't bundle Claude Code. Install it separately, then point Archon at it:\n>\n> ```bash\n> # macOS / Linux / WSL\n> curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash\n> export CLAUDE_BIN_PATH=\"$HOME/.local/bin/claude\"\n>\n> # Windows (PowerShell)\n> irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex\n> $env:CLAUDE_BIN_PATH = \"$env:USERPROFILE\\.local\\bin\\claude.exe\"\n> ```\n>\n> Or set `assistants.claude.claudeBinaryPath` in `~/.archon/config.yaml`.\n> The Docker image ships Claude Code pre-installed. See [AI Assistants → Binary path configuration](https://archon.diy/getting-started/ai-assistants/#binary-path-configuration-compiled-binaries-only) for details.","github_created_at":"2025-02-07T21:04:12+00:00","created_at":"2026-07-15T10:53:53.729187+00:00","updated_at":"2026-09-20T04:48:15.379199+00:00","categories":[{"slug":"developer-tools","name":"Developer Tools","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/developer-tools","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/developer-tools.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/developer-tools"}],"tags":[{"slug":"ai","name":"ai"},{"slug":"automation","name":"automation"},{"slug":"claude","name":"claude"},{"slug":"cli","name":"cli"},{"slug":"coding-assistant","name":"coding-assistant"},{"slug":"typescript","name":"typescript"},{"slug":"workflow-engine","name":"workflow-engine"}],"trust":{"provenance":{"is_fork":false,"github_id":929121414,"owner_type":"User","methodology":"github_public_v1","parent_repo":null,"near_duplicate_slugs":[]},"computed_at":"2026-09-20T04:48:12.743Z","maintenance":{"label":"Very active","score":96,"methodology":"github_public_v1","releases_90d":8,"days_since_push":1,"last_release_at":"2026-08-30T15:35:50Z","stars_delta_30d":368,"open_issues_delta_30d":92},"security_summary":{"status":"no_lockfile","scanner":null,"low_count":0,"high_count":0,"last_scan_at":"2026-07-15T10:53:54.951Z","medium_count":0,"scan_profile":"none","critical_count":0}},"capability_facts":{"mcp":{"source":"repo_scan","observed_at":"2026-09-20T04:48:13.991Z","server_manifest":false},"scan":{"source":"repo_scan","observed_at":"2026-09-20T04:48:13.991Z"},"deploy":{"source":"dockerfile:Dockerfile","self_host":true,"observed_at":"2026-09-20T04:48:13.991Z","managed_saas":false},"has_cli":{"value":true,"source":"package.json:bin|scripts","observed_at":"2026-09-20T04:48:13.991Z"},"languages":{"value":["typescript","javascript"],"source":"github.language+package.json","observed_at":"2026-09-20T04:48:13.991Z"},"has_docker":{"value":true,"source":"dockerfile:Dockerfile","observed_at":"2026-09-20T04:48:13.991Z"},"license_spdx":{"value":"MIT","source":"github.license","observed_at":"2026-09-20T04:48:13.991Z"}},"decision_facts":{"hosting":null,"pricing":null,"requirements":{"notes":["- Proficiency in TypeScript is expected to make full use of Archon's features."]},"constraints":null,"when_to_use":["- If you need to ensure determinism and repeatability in your AI coding projects using TypeScript, Archon provides the necessary tools without proprietary constraints.","- For developers leveraging CLAude or Bun frameworks within their workflows, Archon serves as a dedicated harness builder that supports integration directly through its design."],"when_not_to_use":["- You may avoid Archon if your project does not require TypeScript and specifically focuses on other programming languages where alternative solutions might be more fitting.","- If deterministic outcomes are less critical than rapid, flexible execution of AI coding projects, the constraints provided by Archon’s design might limit its utility."],"source":"enrich:decision_facts","observed_at":"2026-07-16T19:11:56.657Z"},"constraint_facets":null,"decision_summary":[{"label":"Requirements","value":"- Proficiency in TypeScript is expected to make full use of Archon's features."},{"label":"Adopt for","value":"Archon is an open-source harness builder for AI coding that ensures deterministic and repeatable outputs in TypeScript environment."},{"label":"License detail","value":"Released under the MIT license, offering flexibility for both commercial and non-commercial use cases with a strong emphasis on permissive reuse and modification."}]}}
