Install

brew install v8

“Install v8 with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read v8 --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update v8 and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run v8 on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs v8 there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install v8 first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install v8 for you.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
