Installing Playnex is the first step into a new way of working — one where intelligence runs beside you, on your own hardware, quietly helping you think, write, and create.
Begin Installation →Before installing the CLI, you’ll need a Playnex account. This gives you access to your workspace, agents, memory, and capsules.
Create your account here:
Once your account is created, you’ll be ready to connect your local environment to your workspace.
Playnex runs on everyday hardware — laptops, desktops, and small local servers. You don’t need a GPU, though models will run faster if you have one.
The Playnex CLI manages your agents, tools, workspace, and local capsules. Install it globally using npm:
npm install -g playnex-cli
Verify installation:
playnex --version
Log in to your Playnex account from the CLI:
playnex login
This authenticates your machine and prepares your local workspace directory under
~/.playnex.
Pull down your agents, tools, and capsule metadata:
playnex workspace sync
This ensures your local environment mirrors your cloud workspace so agents can run locally.
If you already have agents in your workspace, you can run one immediately:
playnex agent chat myagent
Or create a new one:
playnex agent create
You’re now ready to begin building in the agent‑native era — with local‑first intelligence running directly on your machine.
Now that Playnex is installed, create your first agent.
