Installation

Choose a native installer, the @devkitvault/recall npm package, or the VS Code extension. All use the same cloud vault.

Native builds are a single binary with no runtime. The npm CLI is a JavaScript build that requires Node.js 18+.

macOS / Linux

# Install with one command
curl -fsSL https://devkitvault.com/recall/install.sh | sh

The script detects your OS and architecture automatically and installs to ~/.local/bin/recall.

Windows

# Run in PowerShell
irm https://devkitvault.com/recall/install.ps1 | iex

Installs to %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin\recall.exe and adds it to PATH.

npm (Node.js 18+)

# Global install
npm install -g @devkitvault/recall

Package: @devkitvault/recall on npm. Auth stores a token under ~/.recall/token (same as native).
