Install zot and run your first session.

Docs on GitHub

Install

macOS and Linux:

shell
curl -fsSL https://www.zot.sh/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

powershell
iwr -useb https://www.zot.sh/install.ps1 | iex

With Go:

shell
go install github.com/patriceckhart/zot/cmd/zot@latest

Log in

Use /login to store an API key or a subscription credential. zot supports Claude Pro/Max, ChatGPT/Codex, Kimi Code, and GitHub Copilot subscriptions, plus direct API keys for every provider in the catalog.

Note on subscription login

The OAuth client IDs used are the ones published in the official CLIs. Reusing them from a third-party tool may be against their terms of service and may be revoked at any time. The API-key flow is the safe default.

Run it

shell
zot                 # interactive TUI
zot -p "summarize this repo"   # one-shot to stdout
zot --json "run the tests"      # NDJSON events

Pick a model with /model, confine tools to the current directory with /jail, and resume your last session with zot -c.
