Quick start

Install

One-line install (detects OS language, asks full vs minimal, runs holix bootstrap for LLM + Telegram):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/javded-itres/Holix/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Russian systems use Russian prompts automatically; English systems choose EN/RU. See docs/en/INSTALLATION.md.

Install from PyPI (Python 3.12+). Package: Holix, CLI command: holix:

pipx install Holix              # global CLI (recommended)
pipx install "Holix[all]"       # + telegram, browser, tui-web, voice

# or in a virtualenv:
pip install Holix
pip install "Holix[telegram,browser]"

Do not use pip install helix — that is a different package on PyPI.

Update later: holix update --channel pypi

From source (developers):

git clone https://github.com/javded-itres/Holix.git
cd Holix
./scripts/install.sh          # macOS / Linux
# Windows: .\scripts\install.ps1

holix version
holix doctor

Publishing: docs/en/PYPI.md

Developer install:

uv sync && uv pip install -e .
cp .env.example .env
