Quickstart
Get Lore running locally in under five minutes.
1. Install the CLI
npm install -g @lore/cli
2. Authenticate
lore login
This opens your browser to sign in with your Lore account. After authenticating, you'll be prompted to select a workspace if you belong to more than one. Credentials are stored in ~/.lore/config.json.
You can also pass a custom server URL if you're running Lore locally:
lore login --url http://localhost:3001
3. Capture knowledge
Send a text snippet directly from your terminal:
lore capture "Redis failover: switch to replica-2, then promote via redis-cli"
You can also pipe content in:
pbpaste | lore capture
echo "Deploy note: always run migrations before restarting workers" | lore capture
4. Check your workspace
lore workspace show
This displays your active workspace name, slug, and role.
