Choose the route that matches your situation. Do not complete every route.
Set Up This Computer
Recommended for most people. Use EAI Setup on a new Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu/Debian computer.
You download the installer, sign in in your browser, and name your first project. EAI Setup prepares the tools and creates the project.
Connect An Existing Project
Use EAI App Template when you already have a project and want to add EAI services, documents, or workspace-aware patterns.
Use Manual Or Managed Setup
Use Manual and Managed Setup when you work in CI, on a managed device, behind a proxy, or need to control each command.
Advanced: install the CLI directly
For a manual CLI install, choose one of these commands.
Recommended npmjs package:
npm install -g eai-cli
Canonical npmjs package:
npm install -g @enterpriseai/cli
Static registry fallback:
npm install -g @enterpriseai/cli --@enterpriseai:registry=https://eai-support.github.io/eai/registry/
After Your Project Is Ready
- Use eai-gofer to prepare your AI coding workspace.
- Use Examples to start from an application pattern.
- Use EAI CLI for commands and daily operations.
- Use Error Guidance when setup does not complete.
When you publish Object Types, use PascalCase for the model name and use the exact published Object Type slug in lowercase kebab-case for storage and transport.
Advanced: AI workspace support
Run eai start --check, then eai start, when the project is ready. The check
only reads local metadata. It does not access provider accounts or project files.
Current handoff support, in catalog order:
| AI workspace | What EAI does | Remaining action |

On Linux, EAI verifies trusted package identity before launch. Provider account, subscription, and organisation policy are confirmed by the provider.
