Install - Zeroclaw — ContextQMD

Linux

Piped noninteractive install (install.sh via curl):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/master/install.sh | sh

The piped path chooses a prebuilt binary when one is available and falls back to a source build otherwise. It skips the setup prompt and prints zeroclaw quickstart as the next step.

Guided install from a clone:

./install.sh

When the platform maps to a supported prebuilt target, run this path in an interactive terminal to choose prebuilt or source; other platforms build from source. The source path also lets you select apps and optional features. For an unconfigured install, the installer then offers CLI or browser-based setup.

Homebrew (Linuxbrew):

brew install zeroclaw

macOS

Piped noninteractive install (install.sh via curl):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/master/install.sh | sh

Guided install from a clone:

Homebrew:

brew install zeroclaw

Windows

Prebuilt binary (recommended):

Download the latest zeroclaw-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip, extract it, add its directory to PATH, and run zeroclaw quickstart. The Windows setup guide provides an idempotent PowerShell installation block.

setup.bat (currently checks for Rust before its prebuilt path):

cmd

setup.bat --prebuilt

Scoop:

cmd

scoop bucket add zeroclaw https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/scoop-zeroclaw
scoop install zeroclaw

From source:

cmd

cargo install --locked --path .

On WSL2, follow the Linux path; install.sh runs unchanged. See Setup → Windows for the full walkthrough and current Scoop status.
