If WSL2 needs to install
The script will install WSL2 and Ubuntu. After restarting your computer, open Ubuntu from the Start menu and run:
$
curl -fsSL colana.ai/install | sh
What does this install?
The smart setup script detects your system and installs:
- co:lana — the multi-agent dashboard
- Gemini CLI — free, no API key needed
- Claude Code — most mature AI coding agent
- Codex CLI — OpenAI's coding agent
- Aider — if Python is available on your system
Copilot CLI and OpenClaw can be added later from Settings (they require interactive authentication).
The script never modifies your existing configuration files. It only installs new tools.
Troubleshooting
- Permission denied (EACCES) — Fix npm permissions: npm docs
- node-pty build error — Install build tools:
macOS:xcode-select --install
Linux:sudo apt install build-essential
Windows (WSL):sudo apt install build-essential - Command not found after install — Close and reopen your terminal, or run
hash -r - Behind a proxy — Configure npm:
npm config set proxy http://your-proxy:port
