Install Cento

Every path runs the same installer — the cento CLI. Pick the one that fits how you work; they all end with your machine paired and ready.

Terminal (macOS / Linux / WSL)

Terminal users, BYOC boxes, CI

curl -fsSL https://get.cento.app | sh

Downloads the signed cento binary, then runs `cento host install`.

PowerShell (Windows)

Windows users

irm https://get.cento.app/cli/install.ps1 | iex

Same flow as the curl script, for Windows.

Coding agent

Anyone with a coding agent (Cursor, Codex, …)

Set up Cento on this machine by following https://cento.sh/install/agent.md. When Cento asks for pairing, show me the approval link and wait. Stop only when `cento doctor --json` exits 0.

Paste this prompt into your agent — it installs, pauses for your pairing approval, and verifies readiness.

After installing, run cento doctor to verify your machine is ready — exit 0 means host-ready. See the getting started guide for what happens next.
