Install

From npm (recommended)

Rume runs next to your dev server and stays local. Add it as a dev dependency:

npm i -D rume

Works with Next.js 14–16 and any framework that serves HTML over a local dev server.

One-command installer

For a global CLI at ~/.local/bin/rume (no sudo), run the installer:

curl -fsSL https://get.rume.dev | sh

This puts rume on your PATH. Launch it with rume dev — it auto-opens the editor panel in your browser.

Open the panel

rume dev

Rume starts two loopback servers: the editor panel at 127.0.0.1:8787 and a dev proxy at 127.0.0.1:8788. The panel points at your project's own dev server and lets you start editing the moment it is up.
