Developer Machine Setup

CLI Installation

Install the Wendy CLI for your development machine.

curl -fsSL https://install.wendy.dev/cli.sh | bash

wendy --version

curl -fsSL https://install.wendy.dev/cli.sh | bash

wendy --version

winget install WendyLabs.Wendy --source winget

winget upgrade WendyLabs.Wendy --source winget

wendy --version

The wendy CLI is your developer tool for building, discovering, and deploying apps to Wendy devices. It helps set up WendyOS on NVIDIA Jetson and Raspberry Pi, and can target Headless Mac beta on Apple Silicon Macs.

AI Coding Agent Setup

Install the Wendy plugin if you want Codex or Claude Code to create and run Wendy apps for you. The Git source is wendylabsinc/wendy-agentic-coding; in Codex, the plugin appears as @Wendy.

codex plugin marketplace add wendylabsinc/wendy-agentic-coding

claude plugin marketplace add wendylabsinc/wendy-agentic-coding && claude plugin install wendy-agentic-coding@wendy-agentic-coding

VS Code Extension

Prefer to work from your editor? The Wendy for VS Code extension brings device discovery, one-click deployment, integrated Swift (LLDB) and Python (debugpy) debugging, agent updates, and WendyOS flashing directly into your IDE. It also works in VS Code forks like Cursor and Windsurf via the Open VSX Registry.

Install it from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace, or from the command line:

code --install-extension wendylabsinc.wendy-vscode

See the VSCode Extension guide for setup and full feature details.

Next Steps

Choose your first deployment target. Dedicated edge hardware runs WendyOS; existing Linux and Apple Silicon machines run Wendy Agent.
