npx vibe-kanban install guide

Vibe Kanban ships as an npm package you can run without a global install. This page summarizes the happy path; authoritative steps live in getting started.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ – Download from nodejs.org if needed.
• Git – Required for worktrees and agent workspaces.
• API keys or CLIs for the agents you plan to use (Claude, OpenAI, Copilot, etc.).

First run

npx vibe-kanban

Open the URL printed in the terminal. Create a project, attach your repository, add a task, pick an agent from supported agents, and start execution.

After install

Read Vibe Guide for task sizing, then try parallel execution once you are comfortable with a single agent. For privacy posture, see local-first AI coding.
