With the Newcclm client

Our own command line client. A command is installed, login can be used once, no key is required, and no parameters need to be configured.

1. Open Terminal

Windows：Press on the keyboardWinkey, enter "Terminal" or "PowerShell", and press Enter.
Mac：to search for "Terminal" in the "Launch Pad".

It opens to a black window. It looks unfamiliar, butYou just need to copy and paste the two-line command, don't need to understand it.

2. Paste this line and enter

npx newcclm

The first time will take a few seconds to prepare automatically, and then it will be soon.

3. Sign up or log in

The first run will ask you two things, just follow the prompts:

If you already have an account, just press Enter to log in; enter r to register a new account: r
Username:Your name
Password (will not be displayed when entering):
Registering... Complete

Hello. Your login status has been saved and you don’t need to enter it again in the future.

It asks you	How to Answer
If you already have an account, simply enter and log in; enter r to register a new account	First time beatingrEnter; enter directly in the future
Username	Start one on your own, 3 ~ 20 characters
Password	Decide for yourself, at least 8 digits. It is normal not to show when typing, go straight back after you call

4. Get started

Once you're logged in, go straight to the conversation. Type as if you were speaking to someone and press Enter to send.

你 >Help me change this sentence to be more polite: It must be given to me before tomorrow
AI >OK, change it to this: If it is convenient, can you give it to me before tomorrow? ......

你 >Shorter
AI >Can you give it to me before tomorrow?

It will remember the current conversation, so you can continue to ask questions ("Make it shorter", "Change to English"), There is no need to repeat the previous text every time.

Just ask and go

npx newcclm -p "Write a resignation letter for me"

5. Shift Gear

# Switch in the conversation (it will be remembered and will still be opened next time)
/fastswitch to fast
/smartCut to enhance

# Or specify it at startup (only use this once)
npx newcclm --mode smart

7. Don't use it this way

Here are a few questions we've seen in advance:

Don't use it to connect to other clients

This client is for you to use directly. It's not a key that can be stuck everywhere - If you need to access your own tools such as Cursor and WorkBuddy, See Help Center section 5 How to apply for a key。

Don't send the password to someone else

Your account number is your billing voucher. When someone uses your account, they're spending your credit.

Do not manually change the configuration file

The client manages the login status by itself. If it is modified manually, just delete the file and log in again:

Windows:C:\Users\your username\.newcclm\config.json
Mac/Linux: ~/.newcclm/config.json

8. Take a test

Not sure if it is installed, run this to see the status. Being able to see the username and remaining amount means that everything is fine:

npx newcclm --status

Troubleshooting

Prompt "Incorrect password"

Re-enter. NoteDon't show any characters when password is entered, this is normal, not that it was not imported.

Prompt "This username is already in use"

Change the user name, or you may have already registered - then just press Enter to log in without typingr。

Prompt "Login status has expired"

RE-RUNnpx newcclm. Just log in again and the username and password will remain unchanged.

Tip "Used up this month"

Contact us to replenish your usage or wait for auto-recovery next month.

Tip "We have a problem connecting upstream on our side"

This is not your problem, it's a temporary malfunction on our side. Please try again later; let us know if this continues.

Exceptionally slow for the first time

When downloading a program from the Internet for the first time, it is sometimes slow in China, which is normal. If there is no response for more than two minutes, pressCtrl+CExit and try again.

Still not working

Send us these three things, and you can locate them basically once:

1. Complete prompt on the screen (screenshot is most convenient)
2. The command you just entered
3. After which operation did the problem begin?
