Most people let their AI agent do the setup. You can also follow the guide yourself, or join a server someone already runs.

Let your AI do it
Give your coding agent SSH access to a fresh server, then paste this:
Install Automaton on my server at [server address] for the domain [your-domain.com], following https://automaton.monster/llms.txt. Make me the administrator, add a Runner, and tell me what you did.
Works with Claude Code, Codex and other agents that can use a terminal.
Do it yourself
Follow the installation guide. One command installs the server; Studio walks you through the rest.
- Rent a server and point your domain
- Run the installer from the guide
- Open the setup link it prints
- Add a Runner in Studio
Join an existing server
Someone in your team already runs Automaton? Ask the administrator for an invite.
- Accept the invite and sign in to Studio
- Install the CLI for your agent
- Ask your agent to build your first app
