# Operate a device Runtime

Use the CLI to pair a device, run its Runtime, and inspect the capabilities available there.

Install the prebuilt EasyNet CLI and Runtime bundle, pair this host, boot the operator-managed daemon, and inspect the state every connector depends on.

## Run this guide

Outcome

Install the prebuilt EasyNet CLI and Runtime bundle, pair this host, boot the operator-managed daemon, and inspect the state every connector depends on.

Before you run it

The public installer supports macOS and Linux on arm64/aarch64 or x86_64/amd64. A Windows x86_64 package exists, but this guide intentionally withholds the hosted PowerShell installer until its owned-cleanup revision is deployed and verified on a Windows host. Then create a pairing token in the EasyNet console and treat it as a credential: never paste it into logs, screenshots, or source control.

Choose operating system

### Give your coding agent the whole setup task

Includes the selected mode, prerequisites and checks. Copying does not run anything. Context tasks cover folder mapping only; Windows installation remains on hold.

Preview task
macOS / Linux · download, inspect, install

```
(
set -eu
installer="$(mktemp -t easynet-install.XXXXXX)"
trap 'rm -f "$installer"' EXIT
curl -sSfL https://easynet.run/install -o "$installer"
less "$installer"
sudo sh "$installer"
easynet --help
)
```

Bash / zsh · pair and inspect the local snapshot

```
(
set +x
set -eu
terminal_state="$(stty -g)"
trap 'stty "$terminal_state"' 0
trap 'exit 130' 2
trap 'exit 143' 15
trap 'exit 129' 1
stty -echo
printf 'Pairing token: ' >&2
IFS= read -r EASYNET_PAIRING_TOKEN
printf '\n' >&2
stty "$terminal_state"
[ -n "$EASYNET_PAIRING_TOKEN" ] || { printf 'Pairing token is empty.\n' >&2; exit 1; }
easynet device join "$EASYNET_PAIRING_TOKEN" \
  --hub https://easynet.run \
  --boot yes
easynet runtime status --json
)
```

terminal · request the live Realm directory

```
# This is a live Hub directory request, not a local status alias.
easynet device list --state all --format json
```

## Verify the result and boundary

Success looks like

`runtime status --json` reports local Runtime lifecycle and a projection of the saved join/session snapshot. Only a successful `device list --state all --format json` request proves that the Hub can serve the current Realm directory request.

Still separate

The `product_presence` fields in local Runtime status are persisted snapshot projections, not a heartbeat or live dispatch probe. An offline-owner or no-live-session error from `device list` means current Realm readiness is not established. Even a successful listing does not prove that a particular caller will pass Invocation admission.
