Install on Windows

About 20–30 minutes. We'll install the prerequisites, clone Liege, download the local models, and fire up the Command Deck.

Tip: Keep this page open on one monitor while you install. If you hit an error, hit the chatbot at the bottom-right — it's trained on these exact steps.

Step 1 — Install prerequisites

Download and run each installer with defaults:

Node.js 18+ LTS — click the left big green button
Git for Windows — accept all defaults
Ollama for Windows

After install, reboot. Then open PowerShell (Start menu → type "PowerShell") and verify:

node --version
git --version
ollama --version

Each should print a version like v20.10.0. If any say "not recognized," reboot wasn't enough — close PowerShell, reopen, and try again.

Step 2 — Pull the local models

Ollama needs to download the language models. ~12 GB total. Run each command and wait for each to finish:

ollama pull qwen3.5:9b
ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b-instruct
ollama pull deepseek-r1:8b
ollama pull nomic-embed-text

This is the longest step — expect 10–30 min depending on your connection. Models are cached; future updates only pull deltas.

Step 3 — Clone Liege

In PowerShell:

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/yorkisestevez/liege.git .openclaw
cd .openclaw
npm install

The npm install step will take 2–5 minutes. It installs Playwright, Puppeteer, and a few other libraries.

Public repo note: the GitHub repo only contains the landing page and public documentation. Closed-beta customers get a separate install bundle via their waitlist email. During Phase 1 beta, replace Step 3 with the bundle link we send you.

Step 4 — First-run configuration

Still in PowerShell inside .openclaw:

node scripts/requirements-check.js

This prints GO / NO-GO on every prerequisite. Fix any ❌ before continuing.

Step 5 — Start the Command Deck

cd skills\meta-orchestrator\trials\command-deck
node server.js 5055

Open http://localhost:5055. You should see the Command Deck with 13 agents at Level 1.

Step 6 — Connect your first account

Next page: Connect Google (Gmail + Calendar). Takes 5 minutes. After that you'll dispatch your first agent.
