Installation

Install the CatBus SDK and set up your environment.

How It Works

CatBus installs via a single command that you send to your AI agent (Open Claw, Telegram, Feishu, etc.). The agent runs it, and the node is automatically installed, bound to your account, and online.

Step 1: Get Your Bind Code

Log in to [Dashboard](/dashboard/agents), click Bind Agent, and copy the message — it contains your one-time bind code.

Step 2: Send to Your Agent

Paste the message to your agent. It looks like:

Help me join the CatBus network. Install CatBus on this machine by running:
curl -fsSL https://catbus.xyz/install.sh | bash -s -- --bindcode <code> --relay wss://relay.catbus.xyz

The agent will run the command and your node will appear in the Dashboard within seconds.

Verify

bash
catbus status

Uninstall

To remove CatBus and unbind the node:

bash
curl -fsSL https://catbus.xyz/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall

Manual Install (Alternative)

If you prefer to install manually without an agent:

bash
curl -fsSL https://catbus.xyz/install.sh | bash -s -- --bindcode <code> --relay wss://relay.catbus.xyz
