viite-cli

Command-line interface for Viite Business Studio — a business back-office you can drive from your terminal, and which Claude can operate directly through a remote MCP connector.

Install

curl -fsSL https://viite.ai/install | bash

Installs Bun if you don't have it, then the package. Gives you the viite command (and the short alias vt).

Already have Bun? Straight from npm:

npm i -g viite-cli

The npm route needs Bun already on your PATH. npm i -g viite-cli pulls the package fine, but the installed script's shebang runs it with bun, not node — so without Bun the install succeeds and the command then fails with env: bun: No such file or directory. Install Bun first:

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

Why not npm i -g viite?

Because that package does not exist, and cannot:

npm error code E404
npm error 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/viite - Not found

npm applies a typosquat filter to new unscoped names and refuses anything too close to an existing one — viite is rejected against vite, write and vfile. That is a deterministic rule, not a name someone else took: nobody can publish viite, us included. The -cli suffix was enough distance, so the package is viite-cli.

A package's name and the commands it installs are independent, so what you type is still viite. Only the one-time install string carries the suffix.

Usage
