Install a community Eve agent with `npx shadcn@latest add @evex/<slug>`. Inspect the files on /agents first.

## How you install

Run this inside an Eve app:

`npx shadcn@latest add @evex/<slug>`

Pick the slug from the catalog. The files land in your project. After that, evex is out of the loop.

## Inspect first

Open the agent page on [/agents](/agents) and read the files before you install. What you see is what the command writes.

## Where to go next

The live catalog is [/agents](/agents). What a registry is: [Eve agent registry](/learn/eve-agent-registry). Command details: [Installation](/docs/installation).

## Decision table

| Choice | Use when | Avoid when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Install from the catalog | You picked a slug on /agents and want its files in your Eve app. | You still need to inspect the agent source before trusting it. |
| Inspect before install | You want to read every file on the agent page first. | You already audited the source and are ready to install. |
