# GrepAI Quickstart
This skill provides a complete walkthrough to get GrepAI running and searching your code in 5 minutes.
## When to Use This Skill
- First time using GrepAI
- Need a quick refresher on basic workflow
- Setting up GrepAI on a new project
- Demonstrating GrepAI to someone
## Prerequisites
- Terminal access
- A code project to index
## Step 1: Install GrepAI
### macOS
```bash
brew install yoanbernabeu/tap/grepai
```
### Linux/macOS (Alternative)
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yoanbernabeu/grepai/main/install.sh | sh
```
### Windows
```powershell
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yoanbernabeu/grepai/main/install.ps1 | iex
```
Verify: `grepai version`
## Step 2: Install Ollama (Local Embeddings)
### macOS
```bash
brew install ollama
ollama serve &
ollama pull nomic-embed-text
```
### Linux
```bash
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
ollama serve &
ollama pull nomic-embed-text
```
Verify: `curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags`
## Step 3: Initialize Your Project
Navigate to your project and initialize GrepAI:
```bash
cd /path/to/your/project
grepai init
```
This creates `.grepai/config.yaml` with default settings:
- Ollama as embedding provider
- `nomic-embed-text` model
- GOB file storage
- Standard ignore patterns
## Step 4: Start Indexing
Start the watch daemon to index your code:
```bash
grepai watch
```
**What happens:**
1. Scans all source files (respects `.gitignore`)
2. Chunks code into ~512 toke
