Mirror your AI coding sessions to mobile - control Claude, Aider, Copilot, and 17+ tools from your phone (Development version)

Package Exports

    This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@termly-dev/cli-dev) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

    Installation

    Quick Install

    macOS:

    npm install -g @termly-dev/cli

    Linux:

    # Install build tools first (required for node-pty compilation)
# Amazon Linux / RHEL / CentOS / Fedora
sudo yum install gcc-c++ make python3 -y

# Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y build-essential python3

# Then install CLI
npm install -g @termly-dev/cli

    Windows:

    npm install -g @termly-dev/cli

    If installation fails, see Windows requirements below.

    After installation, the termly command is available globally.

    Development (Beta Testing)

    For beta testers and development:

    npm install -g @termly-dev/cli-dev

    This installs the termly-dev command which connects to the development environment.

    System Requirements

    Termly CLI requires build tools for compiling native dependencies (node-pty):

    Linux

    Build tools are required for installation:

    Amazon Linux 2023 / RHEL / CentOS / Fedora:

    sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y
# Or minimal:
sudo yum install gcc-c++ make python3 -y

    Ubuntu / Debian:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential python3

    Alpine Linux:

    apk add --no-cache make gcc g++ python3

    Windows

    The installer automatically checks for required build tools before installation. If any components are missing, installation will be blocked with clear instructions.

    Required components:

    • Visual Studio 2022 (Community/Professional/Enterprise) OR Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022
    • MSVC C++ compiler (cl.exe)
    • MSVC Spectre-mitigated libraries
    • Windows SDK (10 or 11)
    • Python 3.x

    The installer verifies all components and will show detailed error messages if anything is missing.

    Installation steps:

    Option 1 - Visual Studio 2022 Community (Recommended):

    1. Download Visual Studio 2022 Community (free)
    2. Run installer and select workload: Desktop development with C++
    3. In Individual Components tab, ensure checked:
      • ✅ MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools
      • ✅ MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 Spectre-mitigated libs (required!)
      • ✅ Windows 11 SDK or Windows 10 SDK (required!)
      • ✅ C++ CMake tools for Windows
    4. Install (requires ~7GB disk space)
    5. After installation: npm install -g @termly-dev/cli

    Option 2 - Build Tools Only (Minimal):

    1. Download Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022
    2. Run installer and select: Desktop development with C++
    3. In Individual Components tab, ensure checked:
      • ✅ MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 Spectre-mitigated libs
      • ✅ Windows 11 SDK or Windows 10 SDK
    4. Install (~3GB disk space)
    5. Install Python: Download from python.org
    6. After installation: npm install -g @termly-dev/cli

    Common installation errors:

    The installer will block and show specific instructions if components are missing:

    "Missing: C++ build tools"

    • Open Visual Studio Installer → Modify → Workloads tab
    • Check: "Desktop development with C++"

    "Missing: Spectre-mitigated libraries"

    • Open Visual Studio Installer → Modify → Individual Components tab
    • Search "Spectre" and check: "MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 Spectre-mitigated libs (Latest)"

    "Missing: Windows SDK"

    • Open Visual Studio Installer → Modify → Individual Components tab
    • Search "Windows SDK" and check: "Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22621.0)" or any available version

    After fixing missing components, retry: npm install -g @termly-dev/cli

    macOS

    Works out-of-the-box. Xcode Command Line Tools usually installed automatically.

    If needed:

    xcode-select --install

    Platform-Specific Notes

    ARM64 Linux (AWS Graviton, Raspberry Pi):

    • Build tools are mandatory (no prebuilt binaries)
    • Compilation takes 2-5 minutes

    Windows ARM64:

    • May require Visual Studio with ARM64 build tools

    Docker/Containers:

    • Use base images with build tools pre-installed
    • Example: node:18 (Debian-based) already includes build-essential

    Environments

    Termly CLI supports three environments:

    Environment Package Command Server URL Use Case
    Production @termly-dev/cli termly wss://api.termly.dev End users
    Development @termly-dev/cli-dev termly-dev wss://dev-api.termly.dev Beta testers
    Local Run from source TERMLY_ENV=local termly ws://localhost:3000 Developers only

    Note: Server URLs are hardcoded per environment and cannot be changed by users.

    Quick Start

    Production

    cd /path/to/your/project
termly start

    Development

    cd /path/to/your/project
termly-dev start

    Local Development

    # Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/termly-dev/termly-cli
cd termly-cli
npm install

# Run with local environment
TERMLY_ENV=local node bin/cli.js start

    Multiple Sessions

    Run multiple sessions simultaneously:

    # Terminal 1

termly start

# Terminal 2 (new window)
cd ~/backend
termly start

    Each session:

    • Independent AI tool instance
    • Own WebSocket connection
    • Can connect one mobile device

    Manage sessions:

    termly status        # Show all sessions
termly stop abc-123  # Stop specific session

termly tools detect         # Detect installed tools
termly tools info <tool>    # Show tool information

    Config

    termly config               # Show current configuration
termly config get <key>     # Get config value
termly config set <key> <value>  # Set config value

termly config get defaultAI

    Note: Server URL is determined by environment and cannot be changed via config.

    Cleanup

    termly cleanup

    Remove stale sessions (processes that are no longer running).

    Requirements

    • Node.js 18+
    • Build tools (Linux: gcc/make, Windows: VS2022/Spectre libs, macOS: Xcode CLI)
    • At least one AI coding assistant installed (see Supported AI Tools section)
    • Mobile app (iOS/Android) - coming soon

    Troubleshooting

    Installation Issues

    Automatic Build Tools Check

    The installer automatically verifies build requirements on all platforms:

    • Linux: Checks for make, gcc/g++, python3
    • Windows: Checks for MSVC compiler, Spectre libs, Windows SDK, Python
    • macOS: Checks for Xcode Command Line Tools (warning only)

    If components are missing, installation will be blocked with detailed instructions.

    Linux: Installation blocked - missing build tools

    The installer detected missing components. Install them:

    # Amazon Linux / RHEL / CentOS
sudo yum install gcc-c++ make python3 -y

# Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt-get install build-essential python3 -y

    Then retry: npm install -g @termly-dev/cli

    Windows: Installation blocked - missing components

    The installer will show exactly what's missing and how to fix it.

    Common fixes:

    • Missing C++ build tools: Install "Desktop development with C++" workload
    • Missing Spectre libraries: Add "MSVC v143 Spectre-mitigated libs" in Individual Components
    • Missing Windows SDK: Add "Windows 11 SDK" in Individual Components
    • Missing Python: Download from python.org

    See detailed instructions in the error message or Windows requirements section.

    Windows: "EPERM: operation not permitted" during cleanup

    This is a warning, not an error. Installation likely succeeded. Verify:

    termly --version

    macOS: "gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected"

    Install Xcode Command Line Tools:

    xcode-select --install

    Usage Issues

    No AI tools detected?

    termly tools list  # Check what's installed

    Install an AI tool:

    • Claude Code: https://docs.claude.com
    • Aider: pip install aider-chat
    • GitHub Copilot: gh extension install github/gh-copilot

    Session already running?

    termly status       # Find session ID
termly stop abc-123 # Stop it

    Check your environment:

    termly config  # Shows current environment and server URL
