Install once.
Use it naturally.

Install the command

npm install -g lolm-cli
lolm --version

Node.js 20 or newer is required.

Connect any model

lolm setup
lolm doctor

Choose a built-in provider, Ollama, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint. You can also use the provider's normal environment variable.

export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
lolm setup openai

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...
lolm setup anthropic

lolm setup ollama

Open the terminal UI

lolm

Keep talking in the same session. Say try again after a failed task, or add --once for one non-interactive request:

lolm "answer this question…" --once
lolm "make me a PDF and put it on my Desktop"
lolm "code a polished HTML page here" --cwd ./project
lolm "update yourself"

Enable the full local controller

The npm command works by itself. To use the trained NFET graft, clone the source and point LOLM at it:

git clone https://github.com/TheArtOfSound/LOLM.git
cd LOLM
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements-agent.txt
export LOLM_HOME="$PWD"
lolm nfet status
lolm nfet test "verified result text"

LOLM reports NFET unavailable when the model or checkpoint is missing. It never substitutes fake telemetry.

Keep it current

lolm update --check
lolm update
# or simply
lolm "update yourself"

Open source with a commercial path

LOLM is AGPL-3.0-or-later. Organizations that need to embed or host it without AGPL source-sharing obligations can request commercial terms.
