Install Basecamp

Install the Basecamp CLI directly from basecamp.sh. No source checkout or GitHub access is required.

Install

curl -fsSL https://basecamp.sh/install.sh | sh

By default Basecamp installs to ~/.local/bin/basecamp. SetBASECAMP_INSTALL_DIR if you want a different location.

Verify

basecamp --version
basecamp --help

Service endpoint

The CLI uses the production Basecamp service at https://api.basecamp.sh.

For development or private deployments, override it with:

export BASECAMP_ENDPOINT=https://your-endpoint.example
