Getting Started

Ringleader is in private beta. The Ringleader app runs on macOS and Windows, and the rl command line also ships for Linux (x86-64 and arm64) from the same Downloads page. Once you have access, getting to a working, persistent development environment takes three steps:

1. Install: on macOS, a .pkg that installs the Ringleader app and the bundled rl CLI; on Windows, an .msi that installs the same app and CLI.
2. Onboarding (first-run setup): sign in, create the local container runtime, wire up ssh, and boot your first workstation.
3. Configuration: go beyond the defaults with declarative Workstation and WorkstationConfig manifests (a browser IDE, devtools, ports, and more).

Each page builds on the previous one. If you have never used Ringleader before, read them in order.
