Install

Install the global CLI, then run it from any project directory.

npm install -g anturno
# or:
bun add -g anturno

Then:

cd your-project
anturno

On first run, connect a model provider and paste your API key. Later, use /connect and /model to manage providers. See Models & config.

Offline practice

Want to feel the product before you spend anything? Run mock mode — no API key, no provider bill. You get the same TUI loop (composer, modes, transcript, shortcuts) with a local stand-in agent, so you can try the experience without connecting a model.

anturno --mock

When you are ready for real turns, drop --mock and connect a model.

Telemetry

Telemetry is on by default. It sends anonymous product events and crash reports (version, OS/arch, CLI mode, slash command names, coarse duration/turn buckets). It does not send prompts, file paths, diffs, code, API keys, or model credentials.

# in the TUI
/telemetry off
/telemetry on
/telemetry status

# or
anturno config set telemetry false

Force off for a process: ANTURNO_TELEMETRY=0.
