Developer Machine Setup

System Compatibility

Wendy is quickly rolling out support for all major platforms, but at the moment, the experience requires the following:

CLI Installation

The Wendy CLI requires Homebrew to be installed on your system.

Once you have Homebrew installed, update it to ensure you have the latest version, then install the Wendy CLI:

brew upgrade
brew install wendylabsinc/tap/wendy

The wendy CLI is your developer tool that helps build, discover, and deploy apps to WendyOS. It can even help get WendyOS setup on your NVIDIA Jetson and Raspberry Pi 5.

Verify the installation:

wendy --version

Install Python

WendyOS supports Python for building applications. We recommend using uv to manage Python installations and dependencies.

Install uv

uv is a fast Python package installer and resolver, written in Rust. It's significantly faster than pip and provides better dependency resolution.

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

source $HOME/.cargo/env

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

source $HOME/.cargo/env

powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Verify the installation:

uv --version

Install Python 3.14

Use uv to install Python 3.14:

uv python install 3.14

Set Python 3.14 as your default version:

uv python pin 3.14

Verify the installation:

uv run python --version

You should see Python 3.14.x in the output.

Docker Installation

Next Steps

Once you have the Wendy CLI installed, you can proceed to install WendyOS on your device:

• NVIDIA Jetson Installation
• Raspberry Pi 5 Installation
