NurCLI

Fully loaded multi-provider terminal coding agent. Not a thin wrapper.

Custom Rust harness, dense gold TUI, native vision, tools, knowledge stack, hardened sandbox. Pick any of 60+ providers with /login. Any model via --model / /model. Install marketplace plugins with /plugins (same picker UX as providers).

nur           # gold interactive TUI

Repo: nuroctane/nur-cli

Install: one line

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuroctane/nur-cli/main/install.ps1 | iex

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuroctane/nur-cli/main/install.sh | bash

Then: nur auth login or open nur and use /login → pick a provider.

Windows EXE: download nur-windows-x86_64.exe from Releases → double-click → full install (PATH + ecosystem + browser) then TUI. Same stack as the one-liner, no compile. Details: Setup.

Update

nur update

That's the normal upgrade. Pulls / rebuilds when you have a Laboratory checkout, reinstalls nur + ecosystem. Or re-run the one-liner / re-download the EXE. Full detail: Setup → Update.
