# Agentic install

> Paste a 7-line prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or ChatGPT — your AI downloads Ekso, runs docker compose up, and opens it in your browser in ~2 minutes. Same bundle as Quickstart, delegated.

The fastest way to see Ekso running on your own machine: paste a single prompt into any agentic AI with terminal access and watch it install end-to-end. Same bundle as [Quickstart](/guide/install/quickstart) — just delegated to your AI.

## The prompt

Open a terminal-capable agent in a fresh, empty folder. Paste this:

```text theme={null}
Spin up Ekso (open-source self-hosted ops platform — tasks, tickets,
time, money, MCP server) on this machine so I can try it.

1. Download https://ekso.app/download/ekso-docker-stack.zip and unzip
   into a new folder
2. cd into the folder and run: docker compose up -d
3. Wait until http://localhost:6050 responds (1–2 min on first run
   while images pull from Docker Hub), then open it in my default browser
4. STOP — do not fill in the /startup form yourself. Tell me to pick
   my own admin username and password
5. After I submit, sample data auto-seeds and the workspace populates

To stop later: docker compose down
```

## Agent compatibility

Validated end-to-end with **Claude Code** (\~2 min cold pull). Should also work in Cursor (Composer/Agent mode + terminal), Codex CLI, ChatGPT (paid plans with shell access), Gemini Code Assist (terminal variants), or any agent that can run `curl`, `unzip`, and `docker compose`.

Browser-only chat surfaces can't execute the prompt — use [Quickstart](/guide/install/quickstart) manually instead.
