Installation

Recommended Install (Unix/macOS/Linux)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo.git
bash claude-seo/install.sh

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo/main/install.sh | bash

Or via install.cat:

curl -fsSL install.cat/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo | bash

Prefer to review the script before running?

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo/main/install.sh > install.sh
cat install.sh        # review
bash install.sh       # run when satisfied
rm install.sh

Windows (PowerShell)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo.git
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File claude-seo\install.ps1

Why git clone instead of irm | iex? Claude Code's own security guardrails flag irm ... | iex as a supply chain risk (downloading and executing remote code with no verification). The git clone approach lets you inspect the script at claude-seo\install.ps1 before running it.
