Quick Start Guide

Get MIU running on your system and start building AI-powered coding agents.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

Unix/macOS:

curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vanducng/miu-mono/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vanducng/miu-mono/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

# Install as a tool (recommended)
uv tool install miu-code

# Or run directly without installing
uvx miu-code "read README.md"

# CLI agent
pip install miu-code

# Full installation with all extras
pip install "miu-mono[all]"

Set your API key for the LLM provider you want to use:

# Anthropic (default)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

# Google
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="..."

# OpenAI
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

Store your API keys in a .env file in your project root for convenience.
