Switch models anytime with /models command!

System Requirements

Minimum

• Python 3.9+
• Any OS (Windows, Linux, macOS)
• Internet connection

Recommended (for CUDA features)

• NVIDIA GPU (GTX 1650 or newer)
• CUDA Toolkit 11.0+
• 8GB+ RAM

Troubleshooting

"Command not found"

# Add to PATH (Linux/macOS)
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

# Or reinstall
pip uninstall rightnow-cli
pip install rightnow-cli --user

"API key error"

# Get your free key at:
https://openrouter.ai

# Clear old key and re-enter:
rm -rf ~/.rightnow-cli
rightnow  # Will prompt for new key

GPU not detected

# Check NVIDIA driver
nvidia-smi

# Check CUDA
nvcc --version

# RightNow works without GPU (CPU simulation mode)
