# NVIDIA NemoClaw

> NemoClaw is an open-source reference stack for running sandboxed AI agents more safely, with a single command and Markdown docs for AI assistants.

NVIDIA NemoClaw is an open-source reference stack for running always-on AI agents more safely inside [NVIDIA OpenShell](https://github.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell) sandboxes.
NemoClaw provides onboarding, lifecycle management, and agent operations within OpenShell containers.
It installs the OpenShell runtime, part of NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, and sets up an environment designed for executing agents with additional security and inference routing capabilities.

## Get Started

Install NemoClaw and run the onboard wizard to get started.

### From Your Coding Agent

Copy the starter prompt and paste it into your local coding agent, such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, or another assistant that can run local commands with your approval.
The prompt tells your agent to use NemoClaw skills when available, bootstrap the docs-routing skill when it is missing, fetch the Markdown docs, ask whether you want OpenClaw, Hermes, or Deep Agents, collect choices one question at a time, and avoid asking you to paste secrets into chat.

### From Your Terminal

Paste this command into your terminal for the default installation process.

```bash
curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash
```

This starts the maintained last-known-good (`lkg`) installer and onboard wizard.
Use the quickstart guides for scripted installs and failed-session recovery.

By default, NemoClaw installs the OpenClaw agent. Use one of the following quickstart guides to get started with your preferred agent.

| Agent                      | Guide                                                               |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| OpenClaw (default)         | [Quickstart with OpenClaw](../openclaw/get-started/quickstart)      |
| Hermes                     | [Quickstart with Hermes](../hermes/get-started/quickstart)          |
| LangChain Deep Agents Code | [Quickstart with Deep Agents](../deepagents/get-started/quickstart) |

## NemoClaw Docs for AI Agents

Use NemoClaw's Markdown docs or the docs-routing skill when you want your AI coding agent to help you install or operate a sandbox.
The assistant fetches the same canonical pages that power this site and applies them to your local environment.

Give your assistant the docs entry points or optional routing skill so NemoClaw guidance is available directly in chat.
