Three steps, one machine
The installer is a single static script — the same for everyone. It never asks you to paste a key into a website: configuration happens on a local page served from your own machine.
01 Terminal
Run one command
Paste the install command below into Terminal. A single static, reviewable script fetches Spotlight and the exact pinned tools it needs — no personalized blobs, nothing generated per user.
02 Browser
Configure locally
A configurator page opens in your browser, served from 127.0.0.1 on your own machine. Pick your runtime, paste your keys, choose your vault, toggle integrations. Keys are verified live with each provider and written straight to disk — they never touch a website.
03 Investigate
Launch Spotlight
The installer scaffolds your vault, runs preflight, and launches Spotlight with your chosen runtime. A getting-started guide opens when the install completes — tailored to your mode and integrations.
Have these ready
No account is required to install Spotlight. The local configurator lets Indicator members authenticate Navigator directly or continue with the unified Navigator skill locked. Optional services can be added later.
01 Optional
Fallback and membership
Firecrawl adds a hosted fallback for hard-to-reach pages. If you are an Indicator member, use the local Navigator connection: Pro unlocks OSINT tool discovery and Lab also unlocks structured public-record research through Data Navigator. Skip is always available and installs no Navigator credential or CLI.
02 Conditional
A provider key
For managed Pi runs, add an OpenCode Go, OpenRouter, or Fireworks key. Claude Code, Gemini, and Codex use their own sign-in.
03 Optional
