# Requirements

> What you need before installing: a supported harness version, a supported operating system, the command line tool, and a Nito account.

## Your Harness

You need a working install of one of these.

| Harness     | Minimum version    |
| :---------- | :----------------- |
| Claude Code | `2.1.214` or newer |
| Codex CLI   | `0.144.5` or newer |

## Operating System

* **macOS and Linux.** Fully supported.
* **Windows.** Supported. One difference: if a private session crashes, its temporary profile may sit on disk until the operating system clears it, rather than being removed on exit.

## The Command Line Tool

Install `nito` globally with npm. It needs **Node.js 18 or newer**.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["typescript","python","curl"]}}
npm install -g nito-ai
```

That one tool installs the plugin for you and powers file attachments and private and session launches. Both install guides start here.

## Account

A **Nito account**.
