An AI agent for Windows, via WSL2

Run the remoteagent daemon on Windows through WSL2: a Linux environment with access to your files, plus a Windows-friendly install path.

Windows via WSL2

The agent runs inside WSL2, which gives it a Linux environment on Windows. That is the supported path for Windows machines.

Set it up

  1. Enable WSL2 and install a distro (Ubuntu is the default choice).
  2. Install Node.js 20+ inside the distro.
  3. Run curl -fsSL https://remoteagent.online/install.sh | bash.
  4. Log in with remoteagent login.

Filesystem note

Keep the agent workspace inside the Linux filesystem. Accessing Windows paths through WSL is slower and can cause permission quirks.

What works

  • Sandboxed shell inside the distro.
  • File operations in the workspace.
  • The dashboard and CLI as normal.
  • Scheduled jobs via systemd or cron.

If it will not start

$ remoteagent doctor
