- Node 22 or newer. Check with
node -v. - Codex installed.
- A terminal open in your project folder.
Steps

- Check the summary and press Enter. Nothing is written until you press Enter. Press
dto see the exact change first. - Type the code. The terminal shows an 8-character code like ABCD-EFGH. Type it in the box on hawl.ai. If you closed the page, go to hawl.ai/device.
- Approve this agent. Check that the machine and folder on the screen match yours, then click Approve this agent.
- Start Codex in that folder.
You should see: hawl status shows the folder and the site, and hawl.ai shows "Worker online: Codex".
