# Overview

> ByteRover V4 gives coding agents durable project memory through Desktop, spaces, teams, and the ByteRover skill.

ByteRover V4 helps your coding agents remember project decisions, team context, and useful implementation details across sessions. Desktop manages the workspace. The ByteRover skill runs inside your agent and uses the selected space as durable memory.

## Get started in minutes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install ByteRover Desktop">
    Download ByteRover Desktop, open the app, and start setup.

    [Download ByteRover Desktop](https://byterover.dev/download)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in">
    Sign in with Google or GitHub. Desktop uses your account to load teams, spaces, invitations, and connected agents.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect an agent">
    Use Desktop to connect a local coding agent, or install the ByteRover skill manually on a VPS:

    Requires Node.js 20 or newer. Node.js includes npm and npx.

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx skills add campfirein/skills
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Onboard with ByteRover">
    Open the agent in your project and prompt:

    ```text theme={null}
    onboard with byterover
    ```

    The agent checks the current project, links it to a space, and tells you when memory is ready.
