Install

macOS

brew install maniktherana/tap/agentsims

macOS or Linux, without Homebrew

curl -fsSL https://agentsims.dev/install | bash

Then open a new terminal.

Windows

Run this command in PowerShell:

irm https://agentsims.dev/install.ps1 | iex

You can use agentsims in the same window at once. Windows on Arm runs the x64 version through emulation.

Give the skill to your coding agent

The Agentsims skill teaches Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other coding agents how to use Agentsims.

agentsims skill

The curl and PowerShell installers run this command for you when Node.js is installed. After you install with Homebrew, run it yourself.

The command needs Node.js 20 or newer. Agentsims itself does not need Node.js. For more information, see coding agents.

Make sure that it works

agentsims doctor

If doctor finds a problem, it tells you how to correct it.

Then start the workspace.

Update

Installation methodUpdate command
Homebrewbrew upgrade agentsims
curlcurl -fsSL https://agentsims.dev/install | bash
Windowsirm https://agentsims.dev/install.ps1 | iex

Install without the skill

To prevent the installer from installing the skill, use one of these options:

curl -fsSL https://agentsims.dev/install | bash -s -- --no-skill
$env:AGENTSIMS_NO_SKILL = "1"; irm https://agentsims.dev/install.ps1 | iex

Install without a change to PATH

The installers add Agentsims to your PATH. To prevent this change, use one of these options:

curl -fsSL https://agentsims.dev/install | bash -s -- --no-modify-path
$env:AGENTSIMS_NO_MODIFY_PATH = "1"; irm https://agentsims.dev/install.ps1 | iex

Then run Agentsims from its full path:

PlatformPath
macOS or Linux~/.agentsims/bin/agentsims
Windows%LOCALAPPDATA%\Agentsims\bin\agentsims.cmd

Data location

Agentsims keeps its logs, screenshots, recordings, and traces in ~/.agentsims. To use another directory, set AGENTSIMS_HOME_DIR.
