# CLI Install
> Install the GenieX CLI on Windows ARM64, or run it via Docker on Linux ARM64.
The CLI ships as a native Windows ARM64 executable, and as a Linux ARM64 Docker image for Dragonwing QCS9075 and similar IoT devices.
### **Prerequisites**
* Snapdragon X-series chipset (X Elite or X2 Elite). See [Supported platforms](/en/get-started/platforms).
* PowerShell or any shell available on Windows ARM64.
### **Download**
Latest GenieX CLI for Windows ARM64. Click the downloaded `.exe` and follow the prompts.
The installer is not yet code-signed — Windows SmartScreen will warn you. Click **More info → Run anyway**.
### **Add to PATH**
Make `geniex` available in your shell:
```powershell windows theme={"dark"}
Set-Alias geniex (where.exe geniex)
```
### **Verify**
```powershell windows theme={"dark"}
geniex --help
```
Now jump to the [Quickstart](/en/run/cli/quickstart).
Install directly on a Dragonwing ARM64 Linux host (EVK, container, or any device with a Qualcomm BSP) — no Docker required.
### **Prerequisites**
* Linux ARM64 host.
* Dragonwing IoT chipset — see [Supported platforms](/en/get-started/platforms).
### **Install**
If `HOME` is not set (common in minimal containers or `sudo -s` sessions), export it first so the installer knows where to place binaries:
```bash bash theme={"dark"}
export HOME=/root
```
Then run the install script:
```bash bash theme={"dark"}
curl -fsSL https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-geniex/install.sh | sh
```
The script downloads the latest stable release, verifies its SHA256, and installs without `sudo`. If the launcher directory isn't already on your `PATH`, it prints the exact export line to append — for example:
```bash bash theme={"dark"}
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc # or ~/.zshrc / ~/.profile
```
Open a new shell or `source` that file to pick up the change.
If the script reports missing shared libraries (`libCB.so.1`, `libOpenCL_adreno.so.1`, `libcdsprpc.so.1.0.0`, etc.), install the Qualcomm driver packages first — see [Troubleshooting → Linux](/en/resources/troubleshooting#linux).
### **Verify**
```bash bash theme={"dark"}
geniex --help
```
If `geniex` isn't found, open a new shell — or follow the `PATH` line the installer printed at the end of its output.
### **Advanced**
The script runs without `sudo` and picks a location based on who you are:
* **Root** (EVK / container) → binary in `/usr/local/lib/geniex/`, launcher at `/usr/local/bin/geniex`.
* **Non-root** → binary in `${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/geniex/`, launcher at `~/.local/bin/geniex`.
It downloads the latest stable release, verifies its SHA256, and installs atomically.
Pass flags after `sh -s --`:
```bash bash theme={"dark"}
# Pin a specific version
curl -fsSL .../install.sh | sh -s -- --version v0.1.8
# Custom install prefix
curl -fsSL .../install.sh | sh -s -- --prefix /opt/geniex
```
If the launcher directory isn't on your `PATH`, add the line the installer printed — typically:
```bash bash theme={"dark"}
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc # or ~/.zshrc / ~/.profile
```
Open a new shell or `source` that file.
