# Hivemind
> A workspace your coding agents build and work in: run them side by side, add your own views, widgets and tools, and reach them from anywhere.
Source: https://hivemind.griiken.com/guide/
Your agents build the workspace they work in. Hivemind runs your coding agents side by side, and they open views, add widgets and start other agents with the same `hive` command you use.
## Install [#install]
```bash
bash <(curl -fsSL https://hivemind.griiken.com/install.sh)
```
Then open a project: `cd ~/my-project && hivemind .`
```powershell
irm https://hivemind.griiken.com/install.ps1 | iex
```
Then open a project: `hivemind .` in its folder.
{`
Install Hivemind on this computer and start my first agent in it.
1. Run the installer. On Linux or macOS: \`bash <(curl -fsSL https://hivemind.griiken.com/install.sh)\`. On Windows, in PowerShell: \`irm https://hivemind.griiken.com/install.ps1 | iex\`. On an Intel Mac, stop and tell me: there is no prebuilt app.
2. Check: \`hive --version\` prints a version. If \`hive\` is not found, tell me the line that adds \`~/.local/bin\` to PATH in my shell profile.
3. Check which agent programs are on PATH: \`command -v claude codex opencode\`. Ask me which one to use. If I have none, ask before installing one.
4. Add it: \`hive agents install --yes\`. Check: \`hive agents list --found\` lists it.
5. Ask me which project folder to open, then run \`hivemind \`.
Never type a password; if a step needs sudo, ask me to run it. At the end, tell me the version installed and the agent added, and that pressing 2 in the app starts that agent.

Linux arm64 gets the command line only, and Intel Macs build from source: see [System requirements](https://hivemind.griiken.com/guide/system-requirements/).

## What's new [#whats-new]
In Hivemind :
- Tool plugins install from HiveHub, and each one arrives switched off until you turn it on.
- Agents open, call and close plugins in the app with `hive ctl plugin`.
- You can remove a workspace from this computer in the Layers panel. Its folder and files stay.
Every release is in the [Changelog](https://hivemind.griiken.com/guide/changelog/). New words are in the [Glossary](https://hivemind.griiken.com/guide/glossary/). To let
