Setup: Your computer

• My computer: your Claude Code and Codex do the work, with the Claude and ChatGPT plans you already pay for. Agent never sees your logins. You install a small program, the runner.
• Agent's cloud only: nothing to install. Hosted workers use your API keys or the included allowance, billed per use.

Agent marks one option Recommended:

• When one of your runners is already online, or you use a Mac or Linux, it recommends My computer.
• On Windows, a phone or a tablet, it recommends Agent's cloud only. On Windows the runner needs WSL.

You can add your computer later in both cases.

1. An owner or admin accepts the vendor terms first. Read the note, select the checkbox and select Allow runners. See Subscriptions and vendor terms.
2. Open Terminal on the computer where you use Claude Code or Codex. Run the command on the page. It starts with curl -fsSL and ends with /install/runner.sh | sh.
3. The installer puts the runner in your home folder. It offers to sign you in to Claude and ChatGPT on their own pages.
4. A browser tab opens. Approve this computer there.

The runner needs Node.js 22 or newer on macOS or Linux. On Windows, run it in WSL.

The page updates by itself. Your computer shows as Online, with the sign-in state of Claude Code and Codex. When the runner connects while the page is open, the wizard goes to the next page after 2 seconds. Select Stay here to stop that.

Select Continue without it to go on. You can connect your computer later in Model accounts → Runners. You can change where work runs later in Brain & Models.
