Quest 1 of 12

Open the Terminal

Get your terminal ready. This is your command center for everything that follows.

Mac: Open the Terminal app

Press Command + Spacebar to open Spotlight search. Type 'Terminal' and press Enter. That's it — you have a terminal!

💡 Pin it to your dock — you'll be using it a lot from now on.

Windows: Install Git Bash

Windows doesn't ship with a great terminal for SSH. Download and install Git Bash — it gives you a Linux-like terminal on Windows.

# Download from: https://git-scm.com/downloads/win

💡 During installation, keep all the defaults. After installing, search for 'Git Bash' in your Start menu.

Linux: You're already set!

If you're on Linux, you already have a terminal. Open it from your applications menu or press Ctrl + Alt + T.

Run your first command

Type this into your terminal and press Enter. If you see a message, congratulations — your terminal works!

echo "Hello from my terminal!"

💡 Everything you type in the terminal is a 'command.' You're telling your computer what to do, one line at a time.

Run this command in your terminal and paste the output below:

This proves your terminal is working correctly.

echo "openclaw-ready-$(date +%Y)"
