curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mudler/wiz/master/install.sh | bash

Or, if you use zsh:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mudler/wiz/master/install.sh | zsh

git clone https://github.com/mudler/wiz
cd wiz
go build -o wiz .
sudo mv wiz /usr/local/bin/

go install github.com/mudler/wiz@latest

After installation, in your terminal, Press CTRL+Space to start `wiz.

You can also run wiz manually by running wiz.

Add to your shell config to enable Ctrl+Space (only needed if you did not install with install.sh and want to have shell bindings):

zsh (~/.zshrc):

eval "$(wiz --init zsh)"

bash (~/.bashrc):

eval "$(wiz --init bash)"

fish (~/.config/fish/config.fish):

wiz --init fish | source

Now wiz will be ready when you press Ctrl+Space anywhere in your terminal!

Create a config file at ~/.config/wiz/config.yaml, ~/.wiz.yaml or at /etc/wiz/config.yaml for global settings:

# Required: Your LLM configuration
model: gpt-4o-mini
api_key: your-api-key
base_url: https://api.openai.com/v1

# Optional: Custom system prompt
prompt: |
  You are a helpful terminal wizard...

# Optional: Agent behavior
agent_options:
  iterations: 10
  max_attempts: 3
  max_retries: 3
  force_reasoning: false

# Optional: Additional MCP servers
mcp_servers:
  filesystem:
    command: npx
    args:
      - "-y"
      - "@anthropic/mcp-filesystem"
      - "/home/user"
    env:
      foo: bar

You can also configure via environment variables:

export MODEL=gpt-4o-mini
export API_KEY=your-api-key
export BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1

When the wizard wants to run a command, you'll see a prompt:

┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🔧 bash                              │
│                                      │
│ Arguments: {"script": "ls -la"}      │
│ 💭 Listing directory contents...     │
│                                      │
│ [y]es  [a]lways  [n]o  or adjust     │
└──────────────────────────────────────┘

Options:

• y or yes — Approve this execution
• a or always — Approve and add to session allow list (won't ask again)
• n or no — Deny execution
• anything else — Treated as an adjustment to the command

Wiz uses the Model Context Protocol for tool execution.

• bash — Execute shell scripts

Add to your config:

mcp_servers:
  my_server:
    command: /path/to/mcp-server
    args:
      - --some-flag
    env:
      API_KEY: secret

When running inside tmux, wiz automatically uses a split pane for the TUI. Use --no-tmux to disable this behavior.
