## Installation
### Option 1: Auto Setup (recommended)
Best for most users. Works on Linux and macOS.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/blackbuble/pentestai.git
cd pentestai
bash setup.sh
```
What `setup.sh` does:
1. Checks Python 3.11+ is installed
2. Creates a virtual environment (`.venv/`)
3. Installs 12 core dependencies (~30 seconds)
4. Adds `pentestai-activate` alias to your shell
After setup completes:
```bash
source .venv/bin/activate # activate the environment
pentestai guided # start interactive wizard
```
**Want AI or extra features later?** Add them without reinstalling:
```bash
pip install -e ".[ai]" # add
