Installation

Get up and running with Promptodex tools in under a minute.

pod-cli (Recommended)

The CLI is the fastest way to start using prompts from your terminal.

npm install -g pod-cli

Or use it without installing globally:

npx pod-cli summarize

Alias

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

Verify the installation

pod --help

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18

promptodex SDK

If you want to use prompts in your JavaScript or TypeScript applications:

npm install promptodex

See Using in Code for full SDK documentation.

Configure AI providers

To execute prompts (not just fetch them), the CLI needs access to an AI model. Run the setup wizard:

pod config

This walks you through:

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

You can also create the config file manually at ~/.promptodex/config.json. See CLI Configuration for details.
