Before you begin

Make sure you have:
  • A terminal open in a code project
  • A Git repository (recommended for the full workflow demonstration)

Step 1: Install and start opensre

Then start OpenSRE:
OpenSRE CLI welcome screen with the sign-in prompt Use a macOS or Linux terminal. On Windows, use WSL. For PATH troubleshooting and platform requirements, see Install locally.

Step 2: Sign in

Choose Sign in or create account in the welcome screen. Your browser opens the OpenSRE sign-up page. Create an account or sign in using email or another enabled provider; a successful login activates the hosted model, so no separate LLM key is required. Add GitHub later as an optional integration if you want OpenSRE to work with repositories. When that finishes, OpenSRE opens the interactive shell. Add tools later, when you need them:
For the guided integration and optional local-model wizard, run:
To inspect or end the account session later:
Then check that the tools you connected work:

Step 3: Ask your first question

Open the shell and describe what’s going on:

Environment-specific guides

Stuck?

  • Command not found — open a new terminal, or add the bin directory the installer printed to your PATH
  • The shell keeps asking you to sign in — run opensre account status; expired, revoked, incomplete, or unreachable sessions do not open the shell
  • Docker / make missing — see Quickstart troubleshooting
