How to install Flint

This page walks through, step by step, how to install and run Flint for the first time: prerequisites, install command, and verification.

Flint is local-first: your data stays on this machine, and there's no login or forced connection after install. The steps below use macOS as an example.

Install steps

  1. Prepare your environment

    You need a computer with Node.js installed (an LTS version is recommended). Confirm it with node -v in your terminal.

  2. Start the install

    From the project directory run ./start.sh, which checks the environment, installs dependencies, and opens the interface in your browser.

  3. Or use a one-liner

    If you prefer npm, you can also run npx flint-skills-hub to start.

  4. Verify it works

    After the browser opens the local interface, confirm it loads, and you're ready to start managing skills.
