# Install

> Install the Compute CLI with curl. PyPI is not the v0.1 route.

v0.1 install is a single script. It creates an isolated environment and puts `compute` on your PATH.

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://compute.cx/install.sh | sh
```

Supported: **macOS and Linux**, **Python 3.10–3.14**.

Then check the binary:

```bash theme={null}
compute --version
compute doctor --json
```

`doctor` prints client version, API reachability, and sanitized auth state. It never prints your token, source, or local paths.

## What the installer is not

* Not `pip install compute`. That route is later.
* Not a source checkout of this docs repo or the product monorepo.
* Not a Windows installer.

## Upgrade

Re-run the same `curl|sh` command. It installs the current published wheel from `https://compute.cx`.

## Next

[Sign in](/get-started/sign-in) with `compute setup`.
