Install

One command. Non-interactive — it installs Alo and puts alo on your PATH, then prints the next steps.

$ curl -fsSL https://ins.at-work.biz/install.sh | sh

Pin a version or change the install dir:

$ curl -fsSL https://ins.at-work.biz/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 0.1.0 --prefix ~/.local/share/alo

What the installer does

1 · Download & verify

Pulls alo-agent-<ver>.tar.gz + its sha256 from /releases/ and checks the checksum.

2 · Install

Extracts to ~/.local/share/alo, creates a venv, and runs pip install -e .[all].

3 · PATH

Symlinks alo into ~/.local/bin — run hash -r (or open a new shell) to pick it up.

Prerequisites

Python ≥ 3.10

python3 --version. Override with ALO_PYTHON if your 3.10+ lives elsewhere.

curl or wget

Plus tar and sha256sum/shasum for the checksum check.

~/.local/bin on PATH

Standard on most distros; the installer creates it if missing.

Setup after install

The installer doesn't configure anything — these are your next steps.

$ hash -r # or open a new shell
$ alo --version
$ alo setup # provider · model · API key
$ cd <your-project> && alo init # scaffold .alo/ + PROJECT_CONTEXT.md

Optional — run the HTTP server as a systemd service:

$ alo gateway install --start-now

Upgrade & uninstall

$ curl -fsSL https://ins.at-work.biz/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 0.1.0 --force
$ rm -rf ~/.local/share/alo ~/.local/bin/alo
