Prerequisites

Before installing Stib, make sure your environment meets the following requirements.

Required

Claude Code CLI

Stib uses Claude Code to spawn and manage AI agents. Without it, the Kanban board works but agents cannot execute tasks.

Install Claude Code by following the official installation guide.

WARNING

Claude Code CLI is the only hard requirement. Stib will not be able to run agents without it.

Operating System

Stib runs on all major platforms:

• macOS — Apple Silicon (M1+) or Intel
• Linux — x86_64
• Windows — x86_64

Optional

Dependency	When needed
Docker	Containerized deployment

System Requirements

Resource	Minimum
RAM	512 MB (server only)
Disk space	200 MB for the binary + space for your projects
Network	Port 50505 (default server port)

TIP

SQLite is embedded in the Stib server binary — you do not need to install it separately. The database is automatically created at data/stib.db on first launch.

Verify Your Setup

After installing Claude Code, confirm it's available:

claude --version

You should see the installed Claude Code version. If the command is not found, revisit the Claude Code installation guide.

Next Steps

• Quick Start — Go from zero to a running Stib instance in minutes
• Installation — Alternative installation methods (Docker, desktop app)
