Quick Start

Install the CLI

If you haven't already, install OpenAnalyst CLI for your platform.

npm install -g @openanalystinc/openanalyst-cli@latest

See the Installation page for Homebrew, winget, and direct binary downloads.

Sign in to Your Account

Create a free account at https://10x.in if you don't have one, then sign in via email + OTP:

openanalyst account login

Enter your email, then paste the 6-digit code we send you. Signing in unlocks credits-based access to the full OpenAnalyst-routed catalog on one balance — Beta, Max, GPT-5, Claude Opus, Gemini Pro, and Grok — with free credits granted on signup.

Alternative: bring your own provider key

If you prefer to use your own provider keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, xAI, OpenRouter, Bedrock, Stability), run the interactive provider picker:

openanalyst login

Or set keys directly in your environment:

# Edit ~/.openanalyst/.env
OPENANALYST_API_KEY=sk-oa-...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
GEMINI_API_KEY=AIza...

Launch the TUI

Start OpenAnalyst in its default full-screen terminal UI:

openanalyst

You'll see the startup banner, account status, and an empty chat ready for input.
