The BrushCue Command Line Tool Is Now on Windows

By Anthony Dito

The bcue command line tool now runs on Windows. Download it from GitHub releases, add it to your PATH, and run BrushCue Scripts locally.

The BrushCue Command Line Tool Is Now Available on Windows

The bcue command line tool now runs on Windows. Alongside the existing Linux and Mac builds, every release now includes a 64-bit Windows build that you can download directly from our GitHub releases.

Installing on Windows

  1. Go to the BrushCue GitHub releases page.
  2. Under the latest release, expand Assets and download bcue-<version>-windows-x86_64.zip.
  3. Extract the zip. It contains a single file, bcue.exe.
  4. Move bcue.exe to a permanent location, such as C:\Tools\bcue\.
  5. Add that folder to your PATH so you can run bcue from any terminal. In PowerShell:
$userPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "User")
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$userPath;C:\Tools\bcue", "User")
  1. Open a new terminal and confirm it works:
bcue --version

Verifying the Download

Each release also includes a SHA256SUMS file. To verify your download, compute the hash in PowerShell and compare it to the matching line in SHA256SUMS:

Get-FileHash .\bcue-<version>-windows-x86_64.zip -Algorithm SHA256

Running a Script

Once installed, run a script by passing it to the bcue command:

bcue run script.bcue

This is the same BrushCue Script language you use in the online editor and the Python package. Everything runs locally on your computer, so you can point Claude, Codex, or any other AI agent at your .bcue files and have it use bcue to compile and render your projects without anything being sent to our servers.
