CLI Installation

Install the official Promptodex CLI to run prompts from your terminal.

Install globally

npm install -g pod-cli

This makes the pod command available everywhere.

Use with npx

If you don't want to install globally:

npx pod-cli summarize

Alias

The CLI registers as pod. If there's a naming conflict on your system, you can also use promptodex as the command name — both work identically.

Verify installation

pod --help

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18 — the CLI uses native fetch

Initial setup

After installing, configure your AI provider:

pod config

This interactive wizard walks you through:

1. Choosing a vendor (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, or localhost)
2. Entering your API key or port
3. Setting a default model

See Configuration for manual setup.
