# Quick Start

> Get up and running with CCS in 2 minutes

# Quick Start

Get CCS running in under 2 minutes.

## 1. Install

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @kaitranntt/ccs
```

## 2. Open Dashboard

```bash theme={null}
ccs config
```

This opens the visual configuration dashboard where you can:

* Create and manage Claude account profiles
* Configure OAuth providers (Codex, Kiro, Claude, Kimi, and more)
* Set up API profiles (GLM, Kimi, OpenRouter, Novita, Alibaba)
* View usage analytics

<Note>
  CCS binds the dashboard to `localhost` by default. Use `ccs config --host
      0.0.0.0` when you want to open the dashboard from another device, and protect
  it first with `ccs config auth setup`.
</Note>

## 3. Basic Usage

### Default Claude

```bash theme={null}
ccs                    # Uses default Claude subscription
ccs "your prompt"      # Start with a prompt
```

### Profile Switching

```bash theme={null}
ccs glm               # Switch to GLM profile
ccs km                # Use Kimi for Coding API profile
ccs work              # Switch to work account
ccs codex             # Use Codex via OAuth
```

### With Arguments

All args after profile name pass directly to the active target runtime. By
default, that runtime is Claude Code:

```bash theme={null}
ccs glm --verbose
ccs /plan "add feature"
ccs glm /code "implement feature"
```

<Note>
  `ccs glmt` remains compatibility-only for legacy scripts and configs. New API
  setups should use `ccs glm` or `ccs km`.
</Note>

## 4. Create Accounts (Optional)

For concurrent Claude sessions with different accounts:

```bash theme={null}
# Create work profile
ccs auth create work
# Complete OAuth login with work account

# Create personal profile
ccs auth create personal
# Complete OAuth login with personal account

# Use them
ccs work "review code"       # Terminal 1
ccs personal "side project"  # Terminal 2 (concurrent)
```
