Install Fleet
One command, prebuilt binary, under a minute. You will need an active license key before Fleet will start agents, daemons, or pipelines.
Let your AI install Fleet
If you use Claude Code — or any assistant that reads SKILL.md — install the fleet-setup skill once and then just tell it to set Fleet up. It walks you through prerequisites, the install, license registration, project init, and picks a first agent based on the repo.
Install the skill
One-time install. Uses npx skills to clone the skill from our public repo and drop it into your agent's skill directory.
npx skills add Feral-Intelligence/agent-skills --skill fleet-setupAsk your AI assistant
Open any repo you want Fleet to manage and send your agent a plain-English request. It handles the rest: OS detection, binary install, license registration prompt, project init, and picking the right first agent.
“Set up Fleet in this repo”
You still need an active registration code. The skill prompts for it and will not proceed without one.
Install Fleet manually
One command. Downloads a prebuilt binary, verifies its SHA-256, and installs it to ~/.local/bin/fleet. No Go toolchain, no source build, no repository access required.
Install Fleet
Runs the installer at fleetctl.ai/install. It detects your OS and architecture, fetches the latest version from /releases/latest, downloads the matching prebuilt binary, verifies the SHA-256 against the published SHA256SUMS, and installs to ~/.local/bin/fleet. Supported: macOS and Linux on x86_64 and arm64.

Fleet will refuse to start agents, the brain daemon, the watcher daemon, or pipelines until this step succeeds. Generate a registration code in your Fleet dashboard, then paste it here.
fleet admin register --url https://dashboard.fleetctl.ai --code YOUR_REGISTRATION_CODEfleet admin statusInitialize your first project
Run inside any git repository you want Fleet to manage. This writes .fleet/config.yaml and sets up GitHub labels that trigger agents.

Fleet is a paid product. The binary itself is free to install and inspect, but every compute-consuming command refuses to run until you have a registered, active license.
License-gated commands
Any command that starts an agent, spins up a daemon, or runs a pipeline calls the license gate first. An unregistered or expired license produces a clear error with the exact command to fix it.
Commands that work without a license
Diagnostic and read-only commands always work so you can install, inspect, and register the binary without a chicken-and-egg problem.
Verify your install
Run these commands after installation to confirm everything is wired up.
Health check
fleet doctor audits every dependency and reports which are OK, missing, or misconfigured.
fleet doctorSystem requirements
Fleet needs these tools on your machine before it can run.
tmux
RequiredFleet manages each agent in its own tmux session. Install via your package manager: brew install tmux (macOS) or apt install tmux (Debian/Ubuntu).
gh CLI
RecommendedThe GitHub CLI (cli.github.com) is used by the brain daemon to poll PRs, reviews, CI checks, and issues. Run 'gh auth login' once to authenticate.
Active license key
RequiredFleet refuses to start agents, daemons, or pipelines without an active license. Generate a registration code in the Fleet dashboard after sign-up, then run 'fleet admin register'.
