1
00:00:00,665 --> 00:00:02,833
Your spare laptop can become a useful

2
00:00:02,846 --> 00:00:03,930
home for your household.

3
00:00:04,351 --> 00:00:05,435
Lists and calendars.

4
00:00:05,856 --> 00:00:06,813
Learning and study.

5
00:00:07,246 --> 00:00:09,861
Personal projects, media, and games.

6
00:00:10,282 --> 00:00:13,254
Open Swarm brings applications together, with an

7
00:00:13,267 --> 00:00:15,104
agent beside you when you want help.

8
00:00:15,576 --> 00:00:17,871
For an eight gigabyte laptop, start with

9
00:00:17,884 --> 00:00:20,346
the native kernel, its database, and an

10
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:21,201
external model.

11
00:00:21,621 --> 00:00:23,586
Add the applications your family uses.

12
00:00:24,019 --> 00:00:25,053
You do not need to run a

13
00:00:25,065 --> 00:00:27,553
large language model on the laptop, or

14
00:00:27,565 --> 00:00:29,708
install a fleet of business applications.

15
00:00:30,206 --> 00:00:32,948
First, enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux,

16
00:00:33,178 --> 00:00:36,162
restart if requested, and install Docker Desktop.

17
00:00:36,583 --> 00:00:38,420
Select its Linux container backend.

18
00:00:38,854 --> 00:00:40,996
These checks confirm that the Docker engine

19
00:00:41,111 --> 00:00:42,170
and Compose are ready.

20
00:00:42,604 --> 00:00:44,772
The native kernel is published in GitHub

21
00:00:44,785 --> 00:00:45,780
Container Registry.

22
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,267
Download the matching home installer from the

23
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:48,930
written guide.

24
00:00:49,351 --> 00:00:51,838
If your package access requires it, sign

25
00:00:51,851 --> 00:00:52,706
in to the registry.

26
00:00:53,127 --> 00:00:55,333
The installer pulls the image and checks

27
00:00:55,346 --> 00:00:57,476
its source revision and architecture.

28
00:00:57,897 --> 00:01:00,231
Run the installer and choose an administrator

29
00:01:00,244 --> 00:01:00,856
password.

30
00:01:01,277 --> 00:01:04,683
It creates private configuration, starts the database,

31
00:01:04,912 --> 00:01:07,540
and initializes your account before opening the

32
00:01:07,553 --> 00:01:07,961
kernel.

33
00:01:08,394 --> 00:01:10,869
Persistent storage keeps your work across normal

34
00:01:10,882 --> 00:01:11,596
restarts.

35
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:14,542
The default installation folder is O S

36
00:01:14,683 --> 00:01:17,285
H A L Home, inside your Windows

37
00:01:17,297 --> 00:01:18,037
user folder.

38
00:01:18,458 --> 00:01:20,601
When the kernel is ready, the installer

39
00:01:20,652 --> 00:01:22,463
opens your local sign-in page.

40
00:01:22,884 --> 00:01:25,333
Use the administrator name and password you

41
00:01:25,346 --> 00:01:26,047
just created.

42
00:01:26,468 --> 00:01:28,305
Each family member should have their own

43
00:01:28,318 --> 00:01:31,239
login, with access to the applications and

44
00:01:31,252 --> 00:01:32,795
shared resources you choose.

45
00:01:33,216 --> 00:01:35,524
Add your application catalog, then use the

46
00:01:35,537 --> 00:01:37,973
App Loader to preview and install selected

47
00:01:37,986 --> 00:01:39,899
packages and their dependencies.

48
00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:43,063
Start with Life for household organization, or

49
00:01:43,075 --> 00:01:46,162
Little Monsters for classes, lecture recordings, and

50
00:01:46,175 --> 00:01:47,195
study materials.

51
00:01:47,616 --> 00:01:49,976
Business applications are not activated by the

52
00:01:49,989 --> 00:01:50,882
home installer.

53
00:01:51,303 --> 00:01:53,624
Connect a supported model provider and choose

54
00:01:53,637 --> 00:01:54,351
your defaults.

55
00:01:54,772 --> 00:01:57,068
A local account runtime also supports the

56
00:01:57,081 --> 00:01:59,262
desktop app’s Push to swarm flow for

57
00:01:59,274 --> 00:02:01,672
Claude Code and other supported accounts.

58
00:02:02,106 --> 00:02:03,752
Sign in to the provider, push the

59
00:02:03,764 --> 00:02:05,333
connection, and verify it.

60
00:02:05,754 --> 00:02:08,216
Installing the kernel alone does not install

61
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:09,351
that optional runtime.

62
00:02:09,772 --> 00:02:12,374
An administrator can provide an authorized shared

63
00:02:12,387 --> 00:02:12,922
connection.

64
00:02:13,356 --> 00:02:15,193
People can also use their own supported

65
00:02:15,206 --> 00:02:15,907
credentials.

66
00:02:16,341 --> 00:02:18,688
With the account runtime, a person’s own

67
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:21,073
pushed login takes precedence over the shared

68
00:02:21,086 --> 00:02:21,621
default.

69
00:02:22,055 --> 00:02:24,096
Their private login is not handed to

70
00:02:24,109 --> 00:02:25,206
another family member.

71
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,598
Provider permissions and account entitlements still apply.

72
00:02:29,019 --> 00:02:31,277
Your installation and its stored data live

73
00:02:31,290 --> 00:02:31,928
on your machine.

74
00:02:32,348 --> 00:02:34,415
A cloud model receives the context sent

75
00:02:34,428 --> 00:02:34,772
to it.

76
00:02:35,193 --> 00:02:37,055
A suitable local model on a larger

77
00:02:37,068 --> 00:02:38,649
computer is another option.

78
00:02:39,070 --> 00:02:41,991
Connect other devices through authenticated access to

79
00:02:42,004 --> 00:02:44,746
your installation, and keep each person’s permissions

80
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:45,397
in place.

81
00:02:45,818 --> 00:02:48,764
Check status, stop, or start the installation

82
00:02:48,777 --> 00:02:49,721
with the same script.

83
00:02:50,155 --> 00:02:52,489
The restart commands preserve the database and

84
00:02:52,502 --> 00:02:53,101
files.

85
00:02:53,535 --> 00:02:55,346
Watch memory as you add apps and

86
00:02:55,359 --> 00:02:57,667
users, and back up the persistent data

87
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,134
with your private configuration.

88
00:02:59,555 --> 00:03:01,877
Eight gigabytes is a small starting point;

89
00:03:02,195 --> 00:03:04,683
workload and concurrency determine how far it

90
00:03:04,695 --> 00:03:05,167
goes.

91
00:03:05,588 --> 00:03:07,106
Start with one useful result.

92
00:03:07,527 --> 00:03:08,713
A shared household list.

93
00:03:09,134 --> 00:03:10,371
A class ready for tomorrow.

94
00:03:10,792 --> 00:03:12,017
A project you can pick up from

95
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:12,884
another device.

96
00:03:13,305 --> 00:03:16,162
Get the installer, exact commands, and account

97
00:03:16,175 --> 00:03:18,968
connection instructions at oswarm.ai.
