Install Basecamp

Install the Basecamp CLI, initialize a project once, then use sync in every new sandbox or environment.

New to Basecamp?Start with the quickstart →

Install

$curl -fsSL https://basecamp.sh/install.sh | sh

By default the CLI is installed to ~/.local/bin/basecamp. Set BASECAMP_INSTALL_DIR if you prefer another location.

Verify

basecamp --version
basecamp --help

Initialize a project once

cd your-project
basecamp init

Basecamp detects the project, resolves the first environment lock, and synchronizes the environment.

Every new sandbox

git clone ...
cd your-project
basecamp sync

Once synchronization completes, hand the environment to the engineer or coding agent and use the project's normal tools.
