Install ArxCode
Install the CLI and desktop app, then connect a Solana wallet to start building.
ArxCode is available as a desktop app, a web app, and a command-line interface. All three talk to the same sealed network and the same $ARX balance in your wallet.
Desktop & web
The fastest way to start is the hosted app at arxcode.xyz — nothing to install. For local, offline-capable workflows, download the desktop app for macOS, Windows, or Linux from the same site.
Command-line interface
The CLI scripts the platform from your terminal or CI. It requires Node.js 20 or later.
pnpm add -g arxcode
arxcode --version
| Requirement | Version |
|---|---|
| Node.js | 20 or later |
| Solana wallet | Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack |
$ARX balance | Any amount to cover your first build |
Connect your wallet
Authenticate the CLI by signing a message with your wallet — no API key to manage, no secret to leak.
arxcode login --wallet
For unattended environments (CI, servers), provide a signing key through an environment variable instead:
export ARX_WALLET_KEY="..."
arxcode whoami
Your wallet key controls both your $ARX balance and the decryption of your build outputs. Treat it like any production secret — store it in a secrets manager, never in source control.
