SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users who want to install or update DevThrottle, or who see "cc-devthrottle not found" errors, need the correct documented steps instead of having an agent fetch and execute remote installers on their behalf. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Installation Detection: Checks whether DevThrottle is already installed by running cc-devthrottle session whoami before doing anything else. - Guided Install Steps: Directs users to the official download page or GitHub releases for the Director installer on Windows and macOS, with no account required. - Gateway Connection Guidance: Explains the three gateway options (hosted, self-hosted, or local-only) and what each requires. - Use Case: A user asks their coding agent to "set up DevThrottle on this machine." The agent prints the documented steps, the user runs the installer, and the agent then helps verify the install and connect a gateway. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to walk you through installing DevThrottle and connecting a gateway using the documented steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about devthrottle-install

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install DevThrottle on Windows or macOS?▼

Install DevThrottle by downloading the Director installer from https://devthrottle.com/download or the GitHub releases page. The Windows installer is a three-screen wizard requiring no account or administrator rights, and macOS installs from the same download page.

How do I check if DevThrottle is already installed?▼

Run `cc-devthrottle session whoami` in your shell. If it prints a session id, DevThrottle is installed and the session is running under it. If the command is not found, the Director is not installed or its tools are not on your PATH.

Why does cc-devthrottle return command not found?▼

The cc-devthrottle not found error means the DevThrottle Director is not installed on the machine, or its cc-* tools are not on the current shell's PATH. Install the Director from the official download page to resolve it.

Does DevThrottle require an account to install?▼

No, the DevThrottle Director installs and runs with no account and no gateway. A sign-in is only needed when connecting a hosted or self-hosted gateway, which enables the phone app, voice control, and cross-machine messaging.

How do I update DevThrottle to the latest version?▼

The DevThrottle Director updates itself in place automatically. To force an update, use the app's own update action rather than re-running an installer manually.
