Use Context

Install and sign in

Two steps: install the command, then pair your computer with your workspace.

1. Install

Open Settings › Terminal in the web app. It picks your operating system and shows one line to copy, built from your workspace’s own address. It looks like this:

macOS and Linux, in a terminal:

Code
curl -fsSL https://your-workspace.example.com/install.sh | bash

Windows, in PowerShell:

Code
iex (irm https://your-workspace.example.com/install.ps1)

The installer comes from your workspace, so a company that runs Context on its own servers hands out its own address. Copy the line from Settings rather than typing it.

2. Sign in

Pair this computer with your workspace. The first time, name the workspace:

Code
context login --server https://your-workspace.example.com

Use your workspace’s address in place of https://your-workspace.example.com, such as https://api.context.ai.

context login prints an approval link and opens it in your browser. Approve the code there, and the computer is paired. It now appears under Settings › Terminal with the name you gave it when you approved.

Useful options:

• context login --no-browser only prints the link. Use it on a computer without a browser, and open the link somewhere else.
• context login with no --server pairs again with the workspace this computer was already paired with.

Next

Type context to open the terminal home: your recent tasks and a row to start a new one. See Tasks in the terminal.
