How to start the Pi coding agent faster on your machine with Pi Bolt

Install a compiled Pi build that is ready to type sooner and uses less CPU.

Remote script. The install command pipes a script from pi-bolt.opensec.in straight into sh or PowerShell, so read it first if you want to check it before running.

Who it is forA developer who already uses Pi and wants a quicker start and lower CPU use during long coding sessions.

The problemPi on Bun or Node takes a noticeable time to become ready and uses more CPU over a session.

The outcomePi Bolt runs with the same commands, sessions, settings, providers and extensions as Pi, starting from a compiled executable.

What you need first

  • A supported system: Linux x86-64 or ARM64 with glibc 2.17 or later, macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon, Windows 10 (1809) or later on x64, or Android in Termux
  • A terminal and a project folder to run it in
  • A provider account connected with /login, or a local model, as Pi uses

Steps

  1. Run curl -fsSL https://pi-bolt.opensec.in/install.sh | sh on Linux, macOS or Termux, or run irm https://pi-bolt.opensec.in/install.ps1 | iex in PowerShell on Windows.
  2. Open a terminal in your project folder and run pi-bolt.
  3. If you are new to Pi, run /login inside Pi Bolt to connect a provider.
  4. Run pi-bolt --version to confirm the install.

Prompt for your agent

In the repo opensec-git/Pi-Bolt, install Pi-Bolt on this machine using the installer for this operating system, then run <project-folder> with pi-bolt. Report the output of pi-bolt --version. Verify that your Pi configuration in ~/.pi/agent is used as is.

Caveat. Pi Bolt is an independent fork of Pi and is not affiliated with Pi's authors or with Oven.
