Choose an Integration
Choose the web console, a coding CLI, an editor, or an SDK based on how you use HopBase.
New to HopBase? Pick the path that matches what you want to do.
Path A: no installation
Sign in to the console to chat and generate images in the browser. Nothing needs to be installed.
Path B: Claude Code or Codex in a terminal
The fastest option is the console's One-click integration command. It installs, configures, and verifies the selected CLI automatically.
Install Node.js
Download the installer from nodejs.org. Run node -v in a terminal; a version number confirms the installation.
Install a CLI
Claude Code: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Codex CLI: npm install -g @openai/codex
Configure the key
Follow the Quickstart, then open Claude Code or Codex CLI for tool-specific settings.
For an existing application, use an SDK or protocol guide, or copy the AI integration contract.
