+
+This document provides instructions for installing and configuring AICLI on various platforms.
+
+## Pre-built Binaries
+
+The easiest way to install AICLI is to download a pre-built binary from the [releases page](https://git.wisehodl.dev/jay/aicli/releases).
+
+### Platform Selection Guide
+
+Choose the appropriate binary for your platform:
+
+- **Linux (64-bit x86)**: `aicli-linux-amd64`
+- **Linux (32-bit x86)**: `aicli-linux-386`
+- **Linux (64-bit ARM)**: `aicli-linux-arm64`
+- **Linux (ARMv7)**: `aicli-linux-armv7`
+- **Linux (ARMv6)**: `aicli-linux-armv6`
+- **macOS (Intel)**: `aicli-darwin-amd64`
+- **macOS (Apple Silicon)**: `aicli-darwin-arm64`
+- **Windows (64-bit)**: `aicli-windows-amd64.exe`
+- **Windows (32-bit)**: `aicli-windows-386.exe`
+- **FreeBSD (64-bit)**: `aicli-freebsd-amd64`
+- **OpenBSD (64-bit)**: `aicli-openbsd-amd64`
+- **NetBSD (64-bit)**: `aicli-netbsd-amd64`
+- **Solaris (64-bit)**: `aicli-solaris-amd64`
+
+### Linux/macOS Installation
+
+```bash
+# Download the appropriate binary (replace with actual version and platform)
+curl -LO https://git.wisehodl.dev/jay/aicli/releases/download/v1.0.0/aicli-linux-amd64
+
+# Make executable
+chmod +x aicli-linux-amd64
+
+# Move to a directory in your PATH
+sudo mv aicli-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/aicli
+
+# Verify installation
+aicli --version
+```
+
+### Windows Installation
+
+1. Download the appropriate EXE file for your system
+2. Rename the executable to `aicli.exe` if desired
+3. Add the directory to your PATH or move the executable to a directory in your PATH
+4. Open Command Prompt or PowerShell and verify the installation:
+   ```
+   aicli --version
+   ```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### API Key Setup
+
+You'll need an API key to use AICLI. Set it up using one of these methods:
+
+```bash
+# Direct method (less secure)
+export AICLI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+
+# File method (more secure)
+echo "your-api-key" > ~/.aicli_key
+export AICLI_API_KEY_FILE=~/.aicli_key
+
+# Or specify in config file (see below)
+```
+
+### Configuration File
+
+Create a configuration file at `~/.aicli.yaml` or use the sample config provided in the release:
+
+```bash
+# Download the sample config
+curl -LO https://git.wisehodl.dev/jay/aicli/raw/branch/main/sample-config.yml
+
+# Copy to your home directory
+cp sample-config.yml ~/.aicli.yaml
+
+# Edit with your preferred editor
+nano ~/.aicli.yaml
+```
+
+See the README for detailed configuration options.
+
+## Verification
+
+Verify the downloaded files against the provided checksums:
+
+```bash
+# Download the checksum file
+curl -LO https://git.wisehodl.dev/jay/aicli/releases/download/v1.0.0/SHA256SUMS
+
+# Verify your downloaded binary
+sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing
+```
+
+## Building from Source
+
+If you prefer to build from source:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://git.wisehodl.dev/jay/aicli.git
+cd aicli
+
+# Build
+go build -o aicli
+
+# Install
+sudo mv aicli /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
