# Installation > **Warning** > > Project Neo is currently in [Technical Preview](../../../../a-z/squirro-glossary.md#term-Technical-Preview). Features described in this section may change before general availability. The `genai` command line tool is how you author, validate, and deploy an agent configuration. It is distributed as the `squirro-genai` Python package, which installs the `genai` command. This page covers what you need and how to install it. ## Requirements - Python 3.11 or later. - Your Squirro instance URL and a refresh token, so the CLI can authenticate to your cluster. A refresh token is generated in the API Access section of the Squirro settings, as described on the [Authentication](../../../api/authentication.md#api-authentication) page. Squirro recommends installing the CLI into an isolated Python environment, such as a virtual environment, to keep it separate from other Python packages on your machine. ## Availability During Technical Preview, the `squirro-genai` package is published only to the internal Squirro package index. It is not available from a public package index such as PyPI. If you are outside Squirro and want to try the `genai` CLI, visit the [Squirro Support website](https://go.squirro.com/support) and submit a technical support request for access to the Technical Preview. ## Install During Technical Preview, install the package from an environment that is configured to reach the internal Squirro package index, such as a Squirro-managed workstation or build environment. From the default public package index, the command does not resolve. ```text pip install squirro-genai ``` To update an existing installation to a newer version: ```text pip install --upgrade squirro-genai ``` ## Verify Confirm that the CLI is installed and available on your path: ```text genai --help ``` The command lists the available verbs, such as `init`, `lint`, `deploy`, and `explain`. Every run also prints a short Technical Preview notice, a reminder that the commands and the configuration schema may change before general availability. Once the CLI is installed, continue to the [Quick Start](quick-start.md#neo-agent-config-quick-start) page to author and deploy your first configuration.
