✨ One-Line Install

curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leeguooooo/claude-code-usage-bar/main/web-install.sh?v=$(date +%s)" | bash

πŸ’‘ The `?v=$(date +%s)` parameter ensures you get the latest version without CDN caching issues.

**If you still see old version, try with additional cache-busting:**

curl -fsSL -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leeguooooo/claude-code-usage-bar/main/web-install.sh?v=$(date +%s)&r=$RANDOM" | bash

This automatically:

  • βœ… Installs the package
  • βœ… Configures Claude Code status bar
  • βœ… Sets up shell aliases
  • βœ… Just restart Claude Code and you're done!

πŸ’‘ **After installation:** Restart Claude Code and say something to see your usage!
