Install

Install the loadout agent with npm, what the package provides, and which platforms run it as a background service.

Requirements

Node 20 or newer.

Install the package

The loadout-agent package installs two commands, loadout and loadout-agent — both point at the same binary, so either name runs the same agent.

Run it as a background service

loadout service install installs the agent as a background service that starts on login and restarts if it crashes, so it keeps running after you log out. It uses systemd on Linux and launchd on macOS.

Prefer to watch it run instead, or on a platform the service does not support yet? loadout run starts the same daemon in an attached terminal.
