Getting Started

This section walks you through installing Spark CLI, authenticating, running your first query, and setting up your IDE for automatic knowledge sharing.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ — Required for the npm installation method. Check with node --version.

Quick start

# 1. Install
npm install -g @memco/spark
 
# 2. Authenticate
spark login
 
# 3. Query the network

That is all you need to start pulling validated solutions from the shared knowledge network.
