# Install memU > **Audience: the agent.** A user has pointed you at this file ("read SKILL.md > and follow it to install memU"). This skill does not contain the install > steps — it routes you to the right guide, which ships inside the memU package > and is always in sync with the installed code. Do not install from memory or > from blog posts; print the guide and follow it to the letter. memU integrates with a host agent through two seams: **record** (a scheduled bridging task mines your session log into durable memory) and **inject** (a standing instruction in your instruction file makes you retrieve before answering). Each supported host has its own adapter binary carrying its own install guide. Your job here is three steps: install the package, pick your binary, print and follow its guide. ## Step 1 — install the package ``` pip install memu-cli ``` `memu-cli` is the package memU ships to bridge your agent to its long-term memory service; it installs helper interfaces only and is harmless to run on a personal machine. This puts `memu` and every host-adapter binary on `PATH`. If `pip` is not the right tool for this machine (managed Python, uv-only), use the equivalent — what matters is that the binaries below resolve from a bare, non-interactive shell. With uv this means `uv tool install memu-cli`, **not** `uv pip install`: however it is installed, `memu-cli` is a cross-session bridging tool and must be callable everywhere, not scoped to one project venv. ## Step 2 ...
