Installation

The selltraces binary is the normal entry point: it starts setup on a first run and resumes review for new traces on configured machines. Sign in, choose your sources and projects, review a local preview, and explicitly approve an upload. Normal setup does not require a YC application; /yc is an optional campaign. If an older CLI opens the YC application, rerun the installer below to update it. Downloads the prebuilt binary for your platform into ~/.selltraces/bin and adds it to your PATH:
Pin a release by passing its tag, or set SELLTRACES_GITHUB to use a mirror:
The script supports macOS and Linux (glibc) on arm64/x64. Alpine/musl is not supported by the prebuilt binary; build from source instead.

​
Windows (PowerShell)

Downloads selltraces.exe into %USERPROFILE%\.selltraces\bin and adds it to your user PATH:
Pin a release with $env:SELLTRACES_VERSION before piping to iex.

Install from source

Requirements

The install script needs only curl and unzip (preinstalled on macOS and most Linux). The CLI itself needs:
  • A SellTraces account for production uploads
  • Local transcript stores from supported AI-agent tools
  • sqlite3 on the system path for Cursor and local trace-index scanning

​
Local files

The CLI stores private local state under ~/.selltraces: Local state files are written with private 0600 permissions where the platform supports them.
