This is a quick video on installing and setting up the Orgo CLI.If you haven’t already, go to orgo.ai and create an account. You can see I have
my account open here, and I’m in a workspace that has one computer.The first thing you want to do is go over to docs.orgo.ai and click into the CLI
page. This page shows you the instructions and explains the specification for
our CLI and everything it has available.For the CLI and everything else in our API documentation, you’ll also see
llms-full.txt on the bottom left. You can click into it and give it to Claude
Code, Codex, or any coding agent for full context on how to install and use
everything.Back on the CLI page, you can see all of these commands and the basic usage.
I’ll copy the one-line install command and run it. This usually takes a bit
longer, but I already have it installed.I’m going to log out first to show you what it looks like to log back in. If
you’re already logged in to your Orgo account in the browser, this is simple.
Type
orgo login and it gives you a temporary code that expires in 10 minutes.
Click Approve, then go back to the CLI. You can see it’s authenticated now, and
if you type orgo, it’s there and ready to go.You can see a few of the common commands here, and I’ll quickly show you some of
the things you can run from the CLI. For every one of these commands, like
workspaces, computers, templates, secrets, and SSH, you can type help to get the
full set of what you can run with that command. Say orgo computers help and it
gives you all of the options. There are a lot of options under the computers
command, and you can control basically the entire computer lifecycle from the
CLI.The first thing we want to do is target our workspace. The command to switch to
a workspace is orgo workspaces use. We have my workspace here, and we can pass
its name in quotes. Now we’ve switched over to my workspace, and if you run
orgo computers list, you can see the one computer I have running in this
workspace.From here I’ll run a couple of quick commands. We can run
orgo computers create and add --help to see the full set of inputs. We only
need a few: --name, and we’ll call this computer 123, then 8 GB of RAM and 2
CPUs. That should be all we need to create a computer, so I’ll run it. Within a
few seconds it’s created, and you can see the new computer popped up in this
workspace. That’s a simple example of setting up the CLI and creating a new
computer.One last thing I’ll show you. If you go back to orgo, one of the commands is
orgo manifest. It prints a machine-readable list of every command in the CLI.Let’s say you use Claude Code. I’ll open Claude Code here and trust this folder.
Then I’ll say: “Hey, I want to use the Orgo CLI with the orgo commands. You can
first run orgo manifest to understand the CLI format.”You can paste a prompt like this into a Claude Code or Codex session to give it
full context on how to use and interact with the CLI, through any coding agent
such as Claude, Codex, or even Hermes. Once you paste it in, it tells you what
computers you have and shows you everything it can do from here.That was a simple introduction to installing and setting up the Orgo CLI,
logging in, creating a computer, and giving the context to a coding agent. I
hope that was helpful.Install
sudo needed.
Sign in
~/.orgo/credentials.json (mode 0600). To use a separate
identity in dev, set ORGO_PROFILE=dev.
Commands
--json for machine-readable output and --help
for details. Pipe-friendly by default: TTY detection switches to plain
text + JSON when stdout isn’t a terminal.
Give a coding agent the command list
orgo manifest prints every command and option as JSON, with aliases and
defaults. Tell Claude Code, Codex, or another coding agent to run it before it
uses the CLI, so it works from the real commands and flags instead of guessing.
Create a computer
Resize a running computer with
orgo computers resize <name> --ram 8 --cpu 4 --disk 64 (disk grows only; live RAM resize caps at 32 GB).
SSH
/root/Desktop by default (override with --cwd). Standard SSH
disconnect sequences:
Agent TUI
Sessions auto-persist to
~/.orgo/sessions/ after every turn. Ctrl+C
loses nothing.
Resume a session
One-shot run
For scripts and CI:--json to
get a single structured object at the end:
Run commands on a computer
One-shot actions for scripts and CI:Templates
Reproducible computer definitions: build once, launch anywhere. See the Templates guide for the full schema.orgo computers create --template claude-code.
Files and secrets
API keys
Environment
Shell completion
The CLI ships with bash, zsh, and fish completion scripts.orgo completion <shell> prints the script. Source it from your shell config to enable it:
orgo ssh <Tab> shows your actual computers.
