# Installation Guide
## Prerequisites
- **Linux/macOS** (or WSL2 on Windows)
- AI coding agent: [Claude Code](https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code), [GitHub Copilot](https://code.visualstudio.com/), or [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli)
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for package management
- [Python 3.11+](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
## Installation
### Initialize a New Project
The easiest way to get started is to initialize a new project:
```bash
uvx --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git specify init <PROJECT_NAME>
```
Or initialize in the current directory:
```bash
uvx --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git specify init --here
```
### Specify AI Agent
You can proactively specify your AI agent during initialization:
```bash
uvx --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git specify init <project_name> --ai claude
uvx --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git specify init <project_name> --ai gemini
uvx --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git specify init <project_name> --ai copilot
```
### Ignore Agent Tools Check
If you prefer to get the templates without checking for the right tools:
```bash
uvx --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git specify init <project_name> --ai claude --ignore-agent-tools
```
## Verification
After initialization, you should see the following commands available in your AI agent:
- `/specify` - Create specifications
- `/plan` - Generate implementation plans
- `/tasks` - Break down into actionable tasks
## Troubleshooting
### Git Credential Manager on Linux
If you're having issues with Git authentication on Linux, you can install Git Credential Manager:
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
echo "Downloading Git Credential Manager v2.6.1..."
wget https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases/download/v2.6.1/gcm-linux_amd64.2.6.1.deb
echo "Installing Git Credential Manager..."
sudo dpkg -i gcm-linux_amd64.2.6.1.deb
echo "Configuring Git to use GCM..."
git config --global credential.helper manager
echo "Cleaning up..."
rm gcm-linux_amd64.2.6.1.deb
```
