Set up a device

Install the Wendy CLI

Install Wendy on your development computer.

Install the CLI on your development computer. Your target device runs WendyOS or Wendy Agent instead.

Terminal output of wendy discover listing a WendyOS device on the local network — Once the CLI is installed, wendy discover lists the devices it can reach.

macOS and Linux

Run in your terminal:

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

You should see a Wendy version. If the command is not found, open a new terminal and retry.

For the app tutorial, open a WSL2 Linux terminal and use the Linux installation commands above. Keep your project and container builder inside WSL2 too. The managed robot tour requires macOS or Linux.

For native Windows device management, install with PowerShell:

winget install WendyLabs.Wendy --source winget
wendy --version

Native Windows does not support the app tutorial's local app builds and automatic VM app-port forwarding.
