Quick Start
This guide will get you from zero to your first test with Bytesalt in minutes.
Installation
Install the Bytesalt CLI with the command for your shell:
curl -fsSL https://bytesalt.com/install.sh | shRun your First Test
You’re now ready to run your first test. You can test any public URL or even your local development server.
For example, to run a test that demonstrates visual reasoning and mobile auditing, run this command. Be thoughtful and specific with your prompt—very broad tasks can take a significant amount of time and credits.
bytesalt start "Test https://www.craigslist.org for usability on an iPhone. Check only above the fold. Report a single issue and stop. Do not explore."If this is your first time using the CLI, it will automatically open your browser to log you in before starting the test.
Testing Localhost or Private Networks? You can test applications running on your local machine (e.g., localhost:3000) or internal private network via our secure tunnel by adding the --tunnel flag to your command.

The CLI will show the real-time progress of your test. Once completed, it will provide a link to a detailed, human-readable report in your Bytesalt dashboard.
