## 📦 Install

```bash
# script install
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/versperai/VersperClaw/main/install.sh | bash

# source install
git clone https://github.com/versperai/VersperClaw.git && cd VersperClaw && bun install && bun run build:dev:full && ./VersperClaw 

# if want global use bin file
cp VersperClaw ~/.local/bin
# then can use VersperClaw in everywhere after `/login`
```


## 🚀 Quick Start

> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you no need `auto-compact / dream / control context-window` 
> and `websearch` feature. you can no configuration anything
>
> if you no need free `local-websearch` you can skip config `searxng``
> and just set `TAVILY_API_KEY` in env 

```bash
# Maximum_Context_Window = min(CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS, CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW) - 20000
# set 200k env in ~/.claude/settings.json or terminal
# the 20k is used to compact as buffer band
# set tool_search env
# set agentteam in tmux
{
  "env": {
    "USER_TYPE": "ant",
    "CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS": "200000",
    "CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW": "200000",
    "ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH": "true",
    "TAVILY_API_KEY": "",
  # "CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "0", default 1 
    "teammateMode": "tmux" # or in-process
  }

  # set auto-dream config
  "autoMemoryEnabled": true,
  "autoDreamEnabled": true,

  # stt-tts support zh-CN
  # TW girl voice
  "voiceLanguage": "zh-TW",
  "voiceTTSVoice": "zh-TW-HsiaoChenNeural"

  # CN girl voice
  "voiceLanguage": "zh-CN",
  "voiceTTSVoice": "zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural"
  
  

}
```

```bash
# Config SearXNG
# 1. docker configuration
# local config search engine - searxng in archlinux
# make sure have install docker and docker-compose
sudo pacman -S docker-compose && docker
docker --version && docker compose version
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

# make sure open pc and now start docker daemon
sudo systemctl enable --now docker

# 2. docker-compose pull
# use VersperSearch a pre-build docker config in https://github.com/versperai/VersperSearch
# or install searxng in docker-compose by yourself
curl -fsSL \
-O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/searxng/searxng/master/container/docker-compose.yml \
-O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/searxng/searxng/master/container/.env.example

# add json source in formats behind html - jsonl in 87 lines
cd searxng/core-config/ && sudo nvim settings.yml

# start searxng engine
docker compose up -d

# 3. check search feature
# check in every browser
firefox http://localhost:8080
```

```bash
# cd desktop && rm -rf node_modules/.vite && bun run dev
#  cd desktop && bun run vite build
cd desktop && bun run vite && bun run tauri dev
# ai_friend api in 8889 so local build Omni model or use cloud service on 8889

# test
HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8888 HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8888 bun run tauri dev
mitmproxy -p 8888
```

```bash
# /voice
