# Send Nodetool to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

### NodeTool

Visual AI workflow builder combining ComfyUI's node-based flexibility with n8n's automation power. Build LLM agents, RAG pipelines, and multimodal data flows on your local machine.

### Quick Start

# See system info
nodetool info

# List workflows
nodetool workflows list

# Run a workflow interactively
nodetool run <workflow_id>

# Start of chat interface
nodetool chat

# Start of web server
nodetool serve

### Linux / macOS

Quick one-line installation:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodetool-ai/nodetool/refs/heads/main/install.sh | bash

With custom directory:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodetool-ai/nodetool/refs/heads/main/install.sh | bash --prefix ~/.nodetool

Non-interactive mode (automatic, no prompts):

Both scripts support silent installation:

# Linux/macOS - use -y
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodetool-ai/nodetool/refs/heads/main/install.sh | bash -y

# Windows - use -Yes
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodetool-ai/nodetool/refs/heads/main/install.ps1 | iex; .\\install.ps1 -Yes

What happens with non-interactive mode:

All confirmation prompts are skipped automatically
Installation proceeds without requiring user input
Perfect for CI/CD pipelines or automated setups

### Windows

Quick one-line installation:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodetool-ai/nodetool/refs/heads/main/install.ps1 | iex

# JSONL mode - streaming JSON for subprocess use
nodetool run workflow_abc123 --jsonl

# Stdin mode - pipe RunJobRequest JSON
echo '{"workflow_id":"abc","user_id":"1","auth_token":"token","params":{}}' | nodetool run --stdin --jsonl

# With custom user ID
