Get Working Fast
This section is for first successful setup, not a tour of Omegon internals. Pick the path that matches what you already have, follow the steps exactly, and confirm the success signal before exploring deeper features.
Choose Your Path
| Path | Best For | What You Need |
|---|---|---|
| Claude subscription | Fastest “just make it work” route | Claude Pro/Max account and browser login |
| API key path | Direct control over provider credentials | At least one inference API key |
| Local Ollama path | Local/offline-first evaluation | Ollama installed and at least one model pulled |
What counts as success?
You are done with onboarding when all of these are true:
- Omegon launches without provider/auth errors
- Your first prompt gets a real model response
- You see at least one tool call or file read in the conversation
- You know which path to revisit if setup breaks later
If a path fails
- Use the matching guide’s troubleshooting section first
- If the guide is wrong or incomplete, file a Setup problem issue
- If your real goal does not fit any path, file a Use case issue
Prefer examples over theory at this stage. If you want a guided tour of the interface and Omegon’s internal model, use /tutorial afterward.
