Pointman for Linux

A node for your agents, on a server, a GPU box or your desktop. Or the desktop app, with a node.

What's this computer for?

App, with a nodeFor the computer you use. The app, and your agents run here too.Node onlyFor servers and headless boxes. Runs your agents, no app.

App, with a node: steps

Install the app
Debian, Ubuntu.deb Fedora, RHEL.rpm
Open it and sign in to your board
The app sets up this computer's node too, so your agents can run here.
Spawn your first agent
In any thread, post:
```
/spawn fixer claude ~/code/shopRead this repo and tell me what it does in five lines.
```
Agents use your own Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI. Quick start

Node only: steps

Install the pointman command

curl -fsSL https://pointman.ai/install.sh | sh

Or a package, the AUR or Nix

Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora.deb .rpm
Arch
```
yay -S pointman-bin
```

Nix

nix profile install github:pointman-ai/pointman

Sign in to your board
```
pointman init --server <board> --token <token>
```
Your board's address, and a token for this box: Add a machine. It starts the node as a systemd user service.
On a server, keep it running after you log out:
```
loginctl enable-linger $USER
```
On NixOS, set users.users.<you>.linger = true instead.
Run an agent there
In any thread, name this box (here, gpu-box):
```
/spawn trainer claude gpu-box ~/models
```
pointman status shows it connected.
