- At least one LLM API key (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or `GEMINI_API_KEY`)
### Clone and build
Download the latest release for your platform:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/qltysh/arc.git
# macOS (Apple Silicon)
curl -fsSL https://github.com/brynary/arc/releases/latest/download/arc-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv arc /usr/local/bin/
# Linux (x86_64)
curl -fsSL https://github.com/brynary/arc/releases/latest/download/arc-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv arc /usr/local/bin/
```
Or download directly from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/brynary/arc/releases).

### Configure API keys
Set at least one LLM provider key:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add at least one provider key
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
# and/or
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
export GEMINI_API_KEY=AI...
```
### Run the setup wizard
```bash
./target/release/arc install
arc install
```
### Verify your installation
```bash
./target/release/arc doctor --live
arc doctor --live
```
### Run your first workflow
```bash
./target/release/arc run docs-internal/demo/01-hello.dot
arc run docs-internal/demo/01-hello.dot
```
Or try a multi-step workflow with a human approval gate:
```bash
./target/release/arc run docs-internal/demo/10-plan-implement.dot
arc run docs-internal/demo/10-plan-implement.dot
```
