Install and Create a Sandbox

NemoClaw is designed for minimal setup with safety and privacy built in from the start. Two commands take you from zero to a running, policy-enforced sandbox.

Prerequisites

The following are the prerequisites for the NemoClaw CLI.

• Docker must be running.
• Python 3.12+ is required.

Install the CLI

$ pip install nemoclaw

Create a Sandbox

::::{tab-set}

:::{tab-item} Claude Code

$ nemoclaw sandbox create -- claude

✓ Runtime ready
✓ Discovered Claude credentials (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
✓ Created sandbox: keen-fox
✓ Policy loaded (4 protection layers active)

Connecting to keen-fox...

Claude Code works out of the box with the default policy. :::

:::{tab-item} Community Sandbox

$ nemoclaw sandbox create --from openclaw

The --from flag pulls from the NemoClaw Community catalog --- a collection of domain-specific sandbox images bundled with their own containers, policies, and skills. :::

::::

The agent runs with filesystem, network, process, and inference protection active. Credentials stay inside the sandbox, network access follows your policy, and inference traffic remains private. A single YAML policy controls all four protection layers and is hot-reloadable on a running sandbox.

For opencode or Codex, see the Tutorials for agent-specific setup.
