Quickstart

Install

macOS / Linux (one line):

curl -fsSL https://contenox.com/install.sh | sh

Or download the binary directly from GitHub Releases.


Connect a model

Contenox needs at least one model to work. Pick the option that fits:

OptionWhat you need
Built-in local modelsNothing — Contenox downloads and runs GGUF models itself
OllamaOllama installed locally, or an Ollama Cloud key
Google GeminiA free Gemini API key (no GPU)
OpenAIAn OpenAI API key

If you're not sure, start with built-in local models — no account or API key needed.
