# Adding Avici CLI to ChatGPT, Claude code

### Install Avici CLI

Copy and run this command in Codex, Claude Code, another supported desktop agent, or your local terminal:

```
curl -fsSL https://avici.ai/install.sh | bash
```

The installer adds the Avici CLI and the official Avici skills for Codex and Claude Code.

### Connect your account

When the QR code appears:

1. Scan it with the Avici mobile app.
2. Approve **Creator Dashboard**.
3. Keep the installation running until login is confirmed.

If your agent returns a QR image path instead of displaying the image, ask it to show the QR code inline.

### Start using Avici

Open a new Codex, Claude Code, or agent session, then ask:

> Show me my Avici account.

You can also ask:

* “What is in my Avici wallet?”
* “How much is available to spend?”
* “Show my recent card purchases.”
* “Have any refunds completed?”

### Requirements

* macOS or Linux
* A desktop agent or local terminal
* The Avici mobile app, already signed in

The CLI cannot be installed from a mobile app, mobile browser, or browser-based AI chat.

### If the command is not found

Run:

```
$HOME/.avici/bin/avici version
```

If this works, restart your terminal or desktop agent.

### Read-only access

The Avici CLI can read your wallet, cards, spending, activity, and refunds.

It cannot send, swap, top up, withdraw, bridge, transfer, approve, or otherwise move money.
