How to start

Developer quickstart

Run an agent inside FinShield on your own machine, then add the FinClaw runtime. Both are free to download.

Install FinShield, the desktop security guard

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/finogeeks/finsafe/main/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/finogeeks/finsafe/main/install.ps1 | iex

Then create an example policy:

finsafe init

See what your agent tries to touch
Run your agent under FinShield with --audit to get a report of the files and network paths it tried to reach. finsafe explain and finsafe learn help you turn that into a policy.

Add FinClaw CLI, the agent runtime
macOS / Linux
```
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/finogeeks/finclaw-cli/main/install.sh | sh
```
The installer puts the CLI in ~/.local/bin. Add that directory to your PATH, then check with finclaw --version.
Windows
No one-liner. Download the x86_64 Windows archive from the FinClaw CLI releases page, extract finclaw.exe and put it on your PATH, or use WSL2 with the Linux one-liner above.
First run:
```
finclaw init
finclaw setup
finclaw chat
```
- finclaw init — creates your local profile (starts with a mock model).
- finclaw setup — choose your model provider and API key.
- finclaw chat — start talking to the agent.
FinClaw starts with a mock model. Add your model provider's key to make real model calls.
