Getting Started
What’s Included with Your Computer?
By TermSquad · Last reviewed
Your TermSquad computer includes an Ubuntu environment, persistent disk storage, browser terminal access, SSH access, and TermSquad’s tools for persistent sessions, agent coordination, and shared memory.
Included with the computer
| Part | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Compute and disk | The CPU, memory, and storage allocated by your plan. |
| Web terminal and SSH | Browser access and a connection for local terminals or compatible editors. |
| Herdr | Terminal workspaces, tabs, panes, and persistent sessions. |
| Squad and shared memory | Agent coordination and a shared store of project knowledge. |
| Dashboard | Files, metrics, computer settings, and billing controls. |
| Agent and admin users | Separate Linux accounts for daily work and system administration. |
What do I add myself?
Install the AI agents you want from Settings → AI tools, then sign in to their providers. Installing a tool does not include its subscription, credits, or API key.
Project dependencies depend on your repository. Read its setup instructions and install the required packages or language versions. Docker is not installed by default; projects that need it require additional setup.
What persists?
Files are stored on the computer’s disk. Herdr keeps terminal processes separate from your browser connection, but a reboot or stopped computer ends running processes. Backups have recovery limits and do not replace copies you keep elsewhere.
For current resource allocations, see pricing. Before choosing a plan, read Choose a Plan and Location. Before relying on recovery, read Understand Backups and Recovery Limits.
