arahi

Installer for the cmdop CLI — the agent that automates work on the machine where the work actually is.

pip install arahi
arahi

That's it. arahi detects your platform, downloads the cmdop binary, verifies it against the published checksums, installs it, and hands over.

Automation usually stops at the edge of the machine. A scheduler can fire a job, a bot can post a message, but neither can open your project, read the file that is actually wrong, and change it.

cmdop is a single binary that puts an AI agent on that machine, with a shell and your filesystem, and keeps it reachable. This package installs that binary and gets out of the way.

Automation that runs where your work lives

The agent runs on hardware you already own, under your account, with the tools you already have installed. Nothing is uploaded to a service to be automated somewhere else, because the machine that needs the work done is the machine running the agent.

That also means the setup cost is one pip install and one command, not a runbook.

What is cmdop

One executable that is the agent, the relay, the local server and the web console at once. There is no gateway, backend, database server or broker to stand up — you add one binary to a machine you already own.

• run an AI agent on your own machine, with your own tools
• reach it from anywhere: terminal, files, remote execution
• connect machines into a fleet
• works with Claude Code and other agent engines under the hood

Usage

arahi                    # install cmdop (if needed), then run it
arahi --install-only     # install, don't hand over
arahi --prefix ~/bin     # choose the install directory
arahi --force            # reinstall even if already present
arahi --quiet            # print only the installed path
arahi -- --help          # everything after `--` goes to cmdop

Default install directory is ~/.local/bin (%LOCALAPPDATA%\cmdop\bin on Windows). No sudo, no system directories.

What it does, precisely

1. Detects your OS and architecture.
2. Fetches SHA256SUMS from install.cmdop.com.
3. Downloads the matching binary to a temporary file.
4. Verifies the SHA-256 against the published checksum. On mismatch it aborts and installs nothing.
5. Moves the verified binary into the install directory and marks it executable.
6. Runs it.

Supported: macOS (Apple Silicon, Intel), Linux (x64, arm64), Windows (x64).

What it does not do

• No side effects at install time. pip install arahi only unpacks files. Nothing is downloaded or executed until you run arahi.
• No network access on import. import arahi touches nothing.
• No telemetry. The package sends no analytics, ever.
• No dependencies. Standard library only, so there is nothing to conflict with what you already have installed.

Python API

The installer is importable if you would rather script it:

import arahi

target = arahi.detect()
print(target.label, target.asset)

result = arahi.install()
print(result.path, result.sha256)

arahi.install() raises arahi.InstallError with a user-facing message on any failure, and arahi.UnsupportedPlatform when there is no published binary for the current machine.
