You can use the following PowerShell command to check: Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Processor | Select-Object Name, VirtualizationFirmwareEnabled After running the command, if VirtualizationFirmwareEnabled shows True, virtualization is enabled.

Usage Steps

  1. Install the Launcher

  2. Run Environment Check and Deploy Services

    • When you first open the program, the launcher will check the basic environment, as shown below. Detection
    • If WSL components are missing, the installation process will begin. During this process, the system will restart once. A popup will appear before the restart; please save important files promptly. If the environment is missing, the creation process will begin, as shown below. Creation
    • After clicking "Create Runtime Environment," you will be directed to a page for selecting the disk storage location, as shown below. It is recommended to select a non-system drive as the storage location. Storage
    • After clicking "Create," the launcher will automatically download and create the WSL environment. Please wait patiently.
    • After the WSL environment initialization is complete, the deployment process will begin. First, the launcher will ask you to select a deployment version. If you are new to Nekro Agent or AI bots, it is recommended to select the Full version, as shown below. Select Version
    • After selecting the version, the launcher will ask you to choose a port number. Generally, the default is fine. If a port conflict occurs, you can change it. The path shown above can be copied into a file explorer after deployment to access the Nekro Agent data directory, as shown below. Detailed Configuration
    • After configuration is complete, the launcher will automatically pull the required images. Since the image files are large, the download may take some time. Please wait patiently, as shown below. Download
    • After the download is complete, the launcher will automatically enter the startup process. A popup displaying relevant credentials will appear during this process. Please save them securely, as shown below. Credentials
    • After the service starts successfully, the popup can be closed. The launcher will also navigate to the built-in browser, where you can switch between the corresponding services as needed. You can also click the "Fill Credentials" button to automatically populate the login credentials for NA/NapCat, eliminating the need to memorize them, as shown below. Built-in Browser
    • At this point, the Nekro Agent deployment is complete.
