# Install in Claude Code

> Install the plugin, create a Nito account, and get started.

## Before You Start

* **Claude Code** installed and working. See [Requirements](/plugin/get-started/requirements) for the minimum version.
* A **Nito account**. Create one at [app.trynito.ai/signup](https://app.trynito.ai/signup), or run `nito agent signup` once you finish step 1.

## Install

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the nito command line tool">
    Install it globally with npm:

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
    npm install -g @nito-ai/cli
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run setup">
    One command installs the plugin and starts authorization:

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
    nito setup claude
    ```

    It keeps the plugin version-matched to your command line tool. There is no repository to clone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve access">
    Setup opens your browser. Sign in and approve.

    You may be asked twice, once for the terminal and once for the connection that powers in-chat commands. Anything you approved before is skipped.

    If the browser does not open, setup prints a URL you can visit instead.
  </Step>
</Steps>

That is the whole install. The plugin is ready in Claude Code and there is nothing further to run inside it. Go straight to [your first ask](/plugin/get-started/your-first-ask).

## Or Add the Marketplace Directly

You can also install the plugin from inside Claude Code by adding the public marketplace:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
/plugin marketplace add trynito/nito-plugin
/plugin install nito@nito
```

This gives you `ask`, `continue`, `fusion`, and the account commands. `private` and `session` run through the command line tool, so install it with the steps above before using either.

## What Setup Just Did

* **Installed the plugin** and pinned it to the same version as your command line tool, so the two cannot drift apart.
* **Approved access** for the terminal and for in-chat commands.
* **Logged you in**, so later private and session launches use your account without anything to reconfigure.
