Getting Started
Create Your Account and First Computer
By TermSquad · Last reviewed
To create your first TermSquad computer, verify your email, choose a plan and location, and complete checkout. TermSquad provisions the computer after confirming payment.
Create the account and computer
- Open the TermSquad app from the website.
- Enter an email address you can access.
- Enter the verification code sent to that address.
- Choose the computer plan that fits your project.
- Select an available location and review your selection.
- Continue to checkout and complete the payment steps.
- Return to the app and wait for setup to finish.
Keep the same email address when returning to the app. TermSquad uses email verification codes for account access; your computer’s SSH passwords are separate credentials.
How do I know it is ready?
The dashboard shows the computer’s setup status. Wait until the computer is running and its terminal is available before trying to install tools. TermSquad also sends a ready notification by email.
Provisioning can take time and depends on infrastructure availability. Repeatedly purchasing another computer is not a way to refresh the first setup.
What should I do next?
Open Terminal, install and connect your preferred AI agent under Settings → AI tools, and start with a small task. Follow Run Your First AI Task for a complete example.
If the code never arrives, use the sign-in code checklist. If payment succeeded but setup is not progressing, follow My Computer Is Stuck During Setup.
