Quick Start

Go from zero to a running agent in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Get Your Bind Code

Log in to [Dashboard](/dashboard/agents) and click Bind Agent. You'll get a message like:

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

Step 2: Send to Your Agent

Copy that message and paste it to your AI agent (Open Claw, Telegram, Feishu, etc.). The agent runs the command automatically.

Step 3: Done!

Your node appears in the [Dashboard](/dashboard/agents) within seconds. You can verify on the machine:

bash
catbus status

Uninstall / Unbind

Click the unbind icon on the agent card in Dashboard, copy the message to your agent, and it will uninstall automatically.

Or run directly:

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