| 37 | ## 10-Second Quickstart |
| 38 | |
| 39 | A single, statically compiled binary. Zero dependencies. No Python venvs, no NodeJS. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ```bash |
| 42 | # Linux / macOS (Homebrew) |
| 43 | brew tap mlhher/late && brew install late |
| 44 | |
| 45 | # Universal Fallback (Linux / macOS / Windows WSL) |
| 46 | curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mlhher/late-cli/main/install.sh | bash |
| 47 | |
| 48 | # Run instantly in any project |
| 49 | cd your-project |
| 50 | late |
| 51 | ``` |
| 52 | |
| 53 | *(Arch Linux: `yay -S late-cli-bin` | [Manual Binaries (incl. native Windows)](https://github.com/mlhher/late-cli/releases))* |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ## The Architectural Bottleneck |
| 56 | |
| 57 | **The Problem:** Standard coding agents try to do everything inside a single, shared context window. Every compile error, lint failure, and even file write piles up in the KV cache. As the context fills with garbage, the model's intelligence actively degrades. You blame the model, but it's an architecture failure. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | **The Late Solution:** Late splits the brain. It enforces a strict boundary between planning and execution and actively compartmentalizes agents identities and objectives. |
