Setup on Windows

On Windows, Cue CLI for Cue OS runs inside WSL2 with Ubuntu. Native Windows install is not supported yet, so you install and run Cue in the Ubuntu terminal.

What you can do

• Install Cue CLI inside Ubuntu on WSL2.
• Use every Cue CLI command from the Ubuntu terminal.

With Cue CLI

1. In PowerShell, install WSL2 with Ubuntu if you do not have it yet, then open Ubuntu:

   wsl --install -d Ubuntu
   wsl

2. In the Ubuntu terminal, check that Node.js 22.13.0 or later is installed:

   node --version

   If it is missing or older, install or upgrade Node.js using nodejs.org inside WSL. The installer checks the full version and stops before downloading Cue CLI if it is unsupported.

3. Run the installer inside Ubuntu:

   curl -fsSL https://cueos.ai/install.sh | bash

4. Open a new Ubuntu terminal, then check the install:

   cue --version
   cue doctor

5. Continue with cue onboard as in Cue CLI setup.

On the web

The web does not install Cue CLI. You can use Cue OS on the web in any Windows browser.

On iPhone and Android

The iPhone and Android apps are coming; store review is pending. You can use Cue OS in your phone browser now.

Limits today

• Native Windows is not supported. Running the installer outside WSL stops with a message pointing to WSL2.
• Run cue inside the Ubuntu terminal, not in PowerShell or Command Prompt.
• The Node.js package in some Ubuntu releases is older than 22.13.0. Check node --version before you install.
