title: "Quick Start"
description: "Install Strix and run your first security scan"
---
## Prerequisites
- Docker (running)
- Codex or Claude Code authenticated with your normal account, or an LLM API key for [legacy provider mode](/llm-providers/overview)
## Installation
<Tabs>
<Tab title="curl">
```bash
curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash
```
</Tab>
<Tab title="pipx">
```bash
pipx install strix-agent
```
</Tab>
</Tabs>
## Configuration
No model API key is required when Codex or Claude Code is installed and authenticated. Strix automatically selects a coding agent when `STRIX_LLM` is unset:
```bash
strix --target ./your-app
```
To use legacy direct-provider mode instead, set:
```bash
export STRIX_LLM="openai/gpt-5.4"
export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
<Tip>
For best results, use `openai/gpt-5.4`, `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`, or `openai/gpt-5.2`.
</Tip>
## Run Your First Scan
```bash
strix --target ./your-app
```
See [Codex and Claude Code](/integrations/coding-agents) for explicit agent selection and standalone skill/MCP installation.
<Note>
First run pulls the Docker sandbox image automatically. Results are saved to `strix_runs/<run-name>`.
</Note>
## Target Types
Strix accepts multiple target types:
```bash
# Local codebase
strix --target ./app-directory
# GitHub repository
strix --target https://github.com/org/repo
# Live web application
strix --target https://your-app.com
# Multiple targets (white-box testing)
strix -t https://github.com/org/repo -t https://your-app.com
```
