export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

Download the latest release for your platform from the releases page.

git clone https://github.com/vladzima/ocli.git
cd ocli
make build
# Or simply: go build -o ocli .

ocli --version

Simply run the command in your terminal:

ocli

On first run, OCLI creates a config directory at ~/.config/ocli/ with default tutorial content.

Use OCLI remotely with persistent cloud storage:

# Install remote client (one-time setup)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vladzima/ocli/main/cmd/ocli-ssh/install-client.sh | bash

# Connect remotely
ocli

Your data is automatically saved on the server and synced across sessions. Perfect for accessing your notes from anywhere!

Alternative: Use ssh ocli after running the SSH config setup.
