## Installation

### Plugin Install (Claude Code 1.0.33+)

```bash
# Add marketplace (one-time)
/plugin marketplace add AgriciDaniel/claude-seo

# Install plugin
/plugin install claude-seo@AgriciDaniel-claude-seo
```

### Manual Install (Unix/macOS/Linux)

```bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo.git
bash claude-seo/install.sh
```

One-liner (curl)

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo/main/install.sh | bash
```

Or via [install.cat](https://install.cat):

```bash
curl -fsSL install.cat/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo | bash
```

Prefer to review the script before running?

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo/main/install.sh > install.sh
cat install.sh # review
bash install.sh # run when satisfied
rm install.sh
```

### Windows (PowerShell)

```powershell
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo.git
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File claude-seo\install.ps1
```

> **Why git clone instead of `irm | iex`?** Claude Code's own security guardrails flag `irm ... | iex` as a supply chain risk (downloading and executing remote code with no verification). The git clone approach lets you inspect the script at `claude-seo\install.ps1` before running it.
