Team Setup Quickstart [#team-setup-quickstart]

This guide is for **team creators** — the first person setting up SageOx for their team.

Your team does not have to work the same way on day one. Some coworkers will start in **code-mode** with `ox`. Others will connect SageOx in **assistant-mode** through MCP. Others will mainly use **capture-mode** for discussions and walkthroughs.

Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

* A [SageOx account](https://sageox.ai)
* A git repository you want to connect

Step 1: Install the CLI [#step-1-install-the-cli]

<Terminal>
  <TerminalCommand>
    curl -sSL 

    [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sageox/ox/main/scripts/install.sh](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sageox/ox/main/scripts/install.sh)

     \| bash
  </TerminalCommand>
</Terminal>

Step 2: Authenticate [#step-2-authenticate]

<Terminal>
  <TerminalCommand>
    ox login
  </TerminalCommand>
</Terminal>

This opens your browser to sign in. Credentials are stored securely on your machine.

Step 3: Connect your first repository [#step-3-connect-your-first-repository]

Navigate to your repo and initialize SageOx:

<Terminal>
  <TerminalCommand>
    cd ~/code/my-project
  </TerminalCommand>

  <TerminalCommand>
    ox init
  </TerminalCommand>
</Terminal>

This creates a team automatically (if you don't have one) and registers your repository.

Step 4: Invite your team [#step-4-invite-your-team]

Open your team page in the web app and copy the invite message. It includes:

* Your team invite link
* the repo-connected `ox` path for coworkers building in code
* the docs links for coworkers who will start in assistants or through capture flows

Share it via Slack, email, or however your team communicates.

When you share it, tell people to start with the mode that matches how they actually work:

* **Code-mode** — install `ox`, then run `ox login` and `ox init` in the repos they work in
* **Assistant-mode** — connect SageOx over [MCP](/docs/mcp)
* **Capture-mode** — start with [Console Recorder](/docs/context-capture/console) or [Video import](/docs/context-capture/video-import)

Step 5: Record a discussion [#step-5-record-a-discussion]

Capture team knowledge so it flows into your Team Context:

1. Open the [Console Recorder](/docs/context-capture/console) from your team page
2. Click **Start Recording**
3. Transcription and insights happen automatically
