Quickstart

Create the first Flywheel local setup and inspect the product surfaces.

On Windows, choose the install environment by where your AI coding host runs: use WSL when you launch the host from WSL, and use native PowerShell when the host runs as a native Windows process. See Install for the full Windows and WSL commands.

Install Flywheel with the installer on macOS, Linux, or WSL:

curl -fsSL https://flywheel.paradigma.inc/install | sh

After setup, open the Flywheel Web UI to inspect the Canvas, then use your CLI or MCP host to create and inspect graph nodes.
