INSTALL SWAMP

This guide shows you how to install the Swamp CLI on macOS or Linux and verify it works.

Install the CLI

Open your terminal and run:

$ curl -fsSL https://swamp-club.com/install.sh | sh

Verify the installation

Run:

$ swamp version

You should see output like:

2026-07-27T23:29:40.649Z [INF] version: swamp "20260727.150514.0-sha...."

Fix "command not found"

If your shell cannot find swamp, restart it:

$ exec $SHELL

If the command is still not found, add ~/.local/bin to your PATH. Add one of these lines to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.config/fish/config.fish):

# bash / zsh
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

# fish
fish_add_path ~/.local/bin

Then restart your shell and run swamp version again.

Next steps

  • Build your first automation — a guided tutorial from a fresh install to a working health-check workflow
  • If you work with an AI agent, initialize a repository with swamp repo init (per-agent setup), then ask your agent to "get started with Swamp" — the swamp-getting-started skill walks you through building a first model around your own goal
  • Set up shell completions for tab completion of subcommands, flags, and model names
  • Set up background autoupdating to keep the CLI current without manual intervention
