Installation

Verboo Code can be installed in two ways: via npm (recommended) or from source with Bun.

Option A: npm (recommended)

Requires Node.js 18+.

bash

npm install -g @verboo/code

After installation, start the CLI in your project directory:

bash

verboo

Verify the installed version:

bash

verboo --version

The post-install script automatically downloads the ripgrep binary needed for the Grep tool.

Requires Bun 1.3.11+. Install Bun at bun.sh.

bash

git clone https://github.com/verbeux/verboo
cd verboo
bun install
bun run build
node dist/cli.mjs

For development with hot-reload:

bash

bun run dev

Command	Description
`bun run build`	Compiles to `dist/cli.mjs`
`bun run smoke`	Quick sanity check (build + `--version`)
`bun run doctor:runtime`	Validates provider and environment
`bun run doctor:runtime:json`	Diagnostics in JSON
`bun run typecheck`	TypeScript type checking
`bun run test`	Runs unit tests
`bun run test:coverage`	Test coverage (LCOV)

bash

bun run dev

Useful for experimenting with changes without the build step.

Refer to the Android installation guide at ANDROID_INSTALL.md in the official repository.

bash

verboo --version
# verboo-code 0.7.26

bash

verboo --doctor

Or when compiling from source:

bash

bun run doctor:runtime

Expected output:

✓ Node.js runtime: OK
✓ ripgrep binary: OK
✓ Provider config: requires setup

On first run, configure the environment variables to connect to the Verboo endpoint (see Verboo Endpoint).

bash

npm update -g @verboo/code

bash

npm uninstall -g @verboo/code
