You install TermWorks with one command. It adds a small shell hook that shows the occasional, relevant opportunity between your commands — and you earn from each one shown.
Install
curl -fsSL https://term.works/install.sh | bash
The installer detects your shell (zsh, bash, or PowerShell), writes a hook to ~/.termworks/, and adds one source line to your shell rc file (.zshrc, .bashrc/.bash_profile, or your PowerShell profile). Your existing config is preserved.
Start a new shell
Open a new terminal, or re-source your rc file:
source ~/.zshrc # or ~/.bashrc
Link your account to get paid
termworks login
Linking your account is what makes impressions earn — unlinked installs still work but don't accrue earnings. See Getting paid.
Homebrew
TermWorks is also available via Homebrew. The CLI keeps itself current with termworks update, and the shell hook auto-refreshes on upgrade — you just start a new shell to pick it up.
