Almanac guide

Everything from installing Almanac to your first automated reply. No technical background needed. Follow the steps in order the first time.

Install in one line#

macOS or Linux (Terminal):

curl -fsSL https://almanac.bar/install.sh | bash

Windows (Command Prompt or PowerShell):

powershell -c "irm https://almanac.bar/install.ps1 | iex"

The installer checks your computer, downloads Almanac, asks for your Supabase and Meta keys, creates your database and starts the app on http://localhost:3000. Run it again any time to update; your settings are kept.

Before you run it, create two free accounts (about 20 minutes): a Supabase project (how) and a Meta app with WhatsApp (how).
