Install

Install

curl -fsSL https://getstream.io/cli.sh | bash

The script detects your OS, verifies the download's checksum, installs getstream to ~/.local/bin, and adds that directory to your PATH if it isn't already there, telling you which shell profile it updated.

Verify

getstream --version

Update

getstream update

Replaces the running binary in place with the latest stable release. To track a different release channel, set STREAM_CLI_CHANNEL.

Interactive runs also check for updates in the background and cache the result; when a newer release exists, the next run prints a one-line notice on stderr pointing at getstream update. Nothing updates without you running the command, and non-interactive runs (scripts, CI, agents) never check or print the notice.

Shell completion

getstream completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/getstream
getstream completion zsh  > "${fpath[1]}/_getstream"
getstream completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/getstream.fish

Run getstream completion --help for the full list.

Agent skills

Install the Stream agent skills (stream, stream-builder, stream-docs) for your AI coding tool:

getstream skills --claude       # .claude/skills
getstream skills --universal    # .agents/skills (Cursor, Codex, AGENTS-ecosystem)

Restart your agent afterwards. Harnesses scan their skills directory at startup, so new skills don't appear until the next session. See Install agent skills for the full walkthrough.
