01
One contract across platforms
The command surface remains consistent on Windows, macOS, and Linux while package managers and platform paths vary where necessary.
Cross-platform CLI for development setup and automation
One CLI for development setup and automation
Qbit CLI installs system tools, runs repository workflows, and unifies Python, JavaScript, and Dart project management across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
One CLI, repeatable contracts
From system dependency installation to project scripts and language runtimes.
The CLI documentation focuses on stable commands, package-manager detection, qbit.yml/qbit.toml configuration, language workflows, and the upgrade lifecycle.

Current operational release
Download and install guide Latest Qbit CLI release
The stable release provides fixed archive names for all three operating systems. Installers, documentation, and the upgrader share those asset names as one release contract.
CLI principles
Designed for repeatable setup and automation without hidden behavior.
02
Configuration lives with the repository
Scripts and install mappings live in qbit.yml, qbit.yaml, or qbit.toml so project setup can be reproduced.
03
No silent fallback
When a lockfile or override selects a package manager that is unavailable, Qbit returns an actionable error instead of silently switching managers.
Start from the command or runtime that matches the task you need to complete.
Getting started, system packages, project scripts, Python, JavaScript, Dart, configuration, upgrade, and troubleshooting are available from the navigation.
