# 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 both Claude Code and Codex.

## Step 1: Install paper

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

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

### Optional: create an organization

If you're the first person on your team, head to https://console.papercompute.com/onboarding/org to 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

```bash
paper start claude
```

`paper 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? Launch it the same way with `paper start codex`. paper provisions the Codex route for you, so a ChatGPT-plan or per-user OpenAI key works with no extra setup. See Custom backends (https://papercompute.com/docs/paper/cli/custom-backends) for a shared team key.

## Step 3: See your sessions

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