# Quickstart

> Install b1e55ed in 5 minutes. One curl command, an interactive wizard, and your first signal running locally.

This is the shortest path to a running local brain and your first signal.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/P-U-C/b1e55ed/main/install.sh | bash
    ```

    After install, `b1e55ed` should be available in your PATH.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the wizard">
    ```bash theme={null}
    b1e55ed wizard
    ```

    <Tip>
      Running from source? Use `./b1e55ed wizard` or `uv run b1e55ed wizard`.
    </Tip>

    After the wizard completes, choose your deployment mode:

    * **Standalone** — `b1e55ed setup standalone` (self-contained, CLI + dashboard)
    * **Connected** — `b1e55ed setup connected` (with OpenClaw + Telegram)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the brain">
    ```bash theme={null}
    b1e55ed brain
    ```

    This initializes / opens your local append-only event store (SQLite by default).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish your first signal">
    ```bash theme={null}
    b1e55ed signal "BTC breakout — confirmed on-chain" \
      --symbols BTC \
      --direction bullish \
      --conviction 7
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## (Optional) API + dashboard

If you want a UI and HTTP API:

```bash theme={null}
# Terminal 1
export B1E55ED_API__AUTH_TOKEN="your-secret-token"
b1e55ed api

# Terminal 2
b1e55ed dashboard
```

* Dashboard: `http://localhost:5051`
* API health: `http://localhost:5050/api/v1/health`
