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.
