Update CLI installation to use uv tool install openhands - #110
Merged
Conversation
This change updates the CLI installation documentation to recommend using 'uv tool install openhands' instead of 'uvx --python 3.12 openhands'. Benefits: - More efficient: avoids re-downloading and rebuilding each time - Easier to upgrade: users can run 'uv tool upgrade openhands' - Simpler usage: after installation, just run 'openhands' directly Updated files: - openhands/usage/run-openhands/cli-mode.mdx - openhands/usage/run-openhands/local-setup.mdx - openhands/usage/run-openhands/gui-mode.mdx - openhands/usage/windows-without-wsl.mdx
Since 'uv tool install openhands' automatically makes the command available system-wide as 'openhands', shell aliases are no longer necessary.
