Getting started.
From zero to first edit. The fastest path is: install, sign in with Google, hit ⌘K.
What do I need to run eri?
A modern Mac (Apple Silicon recommended) running macOS 13 or later, or a Windows or Linux machine with the eri build available for it. A working microphone is required for voice features. A webcam is required for gaze features. Both can be disabled in Settings → Privacy if you don't want them.
How do I install eri?
Download the latest build from tryeri.ca/download, open the installer, and drag eri into your Applications folder (macOS) or run the installer (Windows / Linux). The first launch will ask for microphone and accessibility permissions — granting them lets voice and inline editing work; declining still leaves you with a usable IDE.
How do I sign in?
Open eri and click Sign in. The recommended path is Sign in with Google — it's the fewest steps and doesn't require a password. If you'd rather use an email and password, the sign-up screen has a link for that. Existing accounts can mix and match: signing in with Google on an email-based account will link them.
Free vs paid — what do I get?
The free tier lets you use eri with your own provider keys (BYOK) — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or a local endpoint. The paid tier gives you the eri inference proxy (diffusion-based code generation) and counts your usage against a monthly allowance. Full breakdown lives at /pricing.
How do I run my first AI-assisted edit?
Open any project folder. Hit ⌘K to bring up the composer. Type or say what you want to change. eri will propose an edit as a diff; review it; accept or reject. Your code never leaves your machine for review — only the prompt and the relevant context are sent to the model.
Where do I find the docs?
Product docs live at /docs. They're skeletal right now and growing. If you can't find a topic, email phlotu@gmail.com and the operator will either point you at the answer or write the missing page.
