B661LP fb5fcb17ad feat(runtime): add Podman as a first-class runtime backend
Selectable via STRIX_RUNTIME_BACKEND=podman, with auto-detection of Podman sockets across Linux (rootless/rootful) and macOS (applehv/libkrun podman machine), correct host-gateway hostname (host.containers.internal), and multi-layer socket fallthrough: STRIX_RUNTIME_SOCKET -> DOCKER_HOST -> per-backend auto-detection -> docker.from_env() default.

Adds backend-aware CLI/connection checks (check_docker_installed, check_docker_connection) and 28 unit tests covering backend registry, socket candidate generation, podman machine inspect JSON parsing, and socket fallthrough. Adds make test target wired into make check-all.

Closes #106

title: "Quick Start"
description: "Install Strix and run your first security scan"
---
## Prerequisites
- Docker or Podman (running)
- An LLM API key from any [supported provider](/llm-providers/overview) (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
## 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
Set your LLM provider:
```bash
export STRIX_LLM="openrouter/z-ai/glm-5.3"
export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
<Tip>
For best results, use `openrouter/z-ai/glm-5.3` (the default pick), `openai/gpt-5.4`, `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`, or `openai/gpt-5.2`.
</Tip>
## Run Your First Scan
```bash
strix --target ./your-app
```
<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
# Targets from a file, one target per non-empty, non-comment line
strix --target-list ./targets.txt
```
