Quickstart

  1. Install prerequisites: Node ≥20, tmux, and at least Claude Code. See Requirements for the full list and one-liners.

  2. Clone and run setup

    Terminal window
    cd ~
    git clone https://github.com/DerRemo/penates.git
    cd penates
    chmod +x setup.sh
    ./setup.sh

    setup.sh installs dependencies, writes a .env with a random auth token, sets up auto-start, and launches the server.

  3. Open the hub at http://localhost:3333. On first visit the browser asks for the token. It’s the AUTH_TOKEN value in penates/.env (look it up any time with grep AUTH_TOKEN penates/.env).

  4. Start a session from the dashboard, pick a CLI, and you’re in.
