Installation

Quick Setup

1. Install the TrikHub CLI globally


npm install -g @trikhub/cli
trik --version

2. Add the gateway to your project


npm install @trikhub/gateway

3. Install triks


trik search <keywords>
trik install @org/trik-name

If a trik requires configuration (e.g. API keys), the CLI will display setup instructions after install. Add the required keys to .trikhub/secrets.json (project-level) or ~/.trikhub/secrets.json (global). See Configuration for details.

4. Verify installation


trik list

Important: Triks are distributed through the TrikHub registry, not npm or PyPI. trik install @scope/name downloads from the registry. The npm install and python3 -m pip install commands shown above install TrikHub’s own packages (CLI, gateway, SDK), not individual triks.

Requirements

git (required for trik install)

Node.js 22.5 or later
npm, yarn, or pnpm

What’s Included

Package	Purpose
`@trikhub/cli`	Command-line tool for managing triks
`@trikhub/gateway`	Runtime for loading triks and routing messages (handoff model)
`@trikhub/manifest`	TypeScript types for trik manifests (transitive dependency)
`@trikhub/sdk`	For building triks (`wrapAgent`, `wrapToolHandlers`) — not needed for consuming

Cross-Environment Support

The TypeScript gateway can run Python triks via a worker subprocess. This means you can use any trik regardless of what language it’s written in. See Cross-Environment Execution for details.
