Prompt

Install Strix (https://strix.ai) on my machine.
1. Check the requirements: Docker running and an LLM API key. If anything is missing, tell me before installing anything.
2. Follow the official method:
- Install: curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash
- Scan your app (after setting STRIX_LLM and LLM_API_KEY): strix --target ./app-directory
3. Check that it works, then explain how to launch it and where to start.

Always review what your agent is about to run, especially install commands.
