HENGSHI CLI Installation & Upgrade

Access path

HENGSHI CLI is currently delivered through a controlled distribution path for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

If you need a trial, installation package, upgrade package, or agent-runtime integration for OpenClaw, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar environments, contact sales or your HENGSHI point of contact. The public documentation does not expose direct download links at the moment.

NOTE

Starting with 2.0.0, the public command name is hbi, and the preferred environment-variable prefix is HBI_*. The CLI still reads legacy configuration and EVEREST_* environment variables during the migration window; official delivery packages now include bundled official skills and clean up legacy everest / everest.exe binaries plus old everest-* skill folders after a successful upgrade.

What is typically delivered

Typical delivery contents include:

• a platform-specific installer or binary package
• bundled official skills matched to the target agent runtime
• upgrade and migration guidance, including the everest -> hbi rename compatibility story

If you need skills preinstalled for a specific agent runtime, call that out during delivery so the environment can be provisioned against the right agent skill directories from the start.

Verify the installation

At minimum, run:

hbi --version
hbi --help
hbi auth status

If hbi --version works and auth status only says that you are not logged in yet, the CLI itself is installed correctly and you can move on to instance configuration and authentication.

Upgrade guidance

Use the same delivery path you already rely on:

• Installer-based delivery: rerun the installer package you received
• Binary-based delivery: replace the binary with the newer package

After upgrading, run:

hbi --version
hbi auth status --output json

If your environment still exposes the older everest command name or everest-* skills, move to hbi and hbi-* consistently once you upgrade to 2.0.0 or later.
