Setup

Get set up on paper

Install paper, then launch your agent through it — every session shows up in the console. Org and gateway live on the web console, and the CLI auto-discovers them. It works with Claude Code, Codex, and Pi.

Copies a prompt for your agent — or view start.md directly.

Set up paper

Install the CLI, then launch your agent through paper. Your sessions show up in the console.

Step 1: Install paper

curl -fsSL https://download.papercompute.com/install | bash

The installer opens a browser and logs you in automatically — sign in with your work email.

Need to create an organization?Optional

If you're the first person on your team, head toconsole.papercompute.comto name your org. The console provisions a default gateway and backends (Claude plus Codex) so the CLI has something to route through.

Invited by someone? Skip this — your org is already set up.

Step 2: Launch your agent through paper

paperctl start claude

paperctl start launches your agent with the proxy already wired up — no env vars, no shell restart. paper auto-discovers your org's gateway.

Running Codex or Pi? Launch them the same way: paperctl start codex or paperctl start pi. paper provisions the Codex route for you, so a ChatGPT-plan or per-user OpenAI key works with no extra setup. See Custom backends for a shared team key.

Step 3: Verify the setup

paperctl status

Healthy output shows the daemon running and your org's gateway discovered. Something off? Run paperctl doctor or see Troubleshooting.

Step 4: See your sessions

Open the console to watch your sessions stream in. The first session can take a minute or two to appear.
