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

  1. Open the TermSquad app from the website.
  2. Enter an email address you can access.
  3. Enter the verification code sent to that address.
  4. Choose the computer plan that fits your project.
  5. Select an available location and review your selection.
  6. Continue to checkout and complete the payment steps.
  7. 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.
