The Spider ecosystem is a based around the Spiderweb agent 'hosted' OS,

• Spiderweb - A agent first distributed OS that any agent can use with just basic filesystem tools
• SpiderApp - front end gui, to interact and observe the Spiderweb
• SpiderNode - small nodes that provide new filesystems and venoms to the Spiderweb
• SpiderVenoms - first-party capability venoms and managed local bundle releases
• SpiderVenomRegistry - signed static registry metadata for published venom bundles
• SpiderMonkey - custom research AI agent that is designed specifically for Spiderweb

git clone --recurse-submodules <this-repo-url>

If you already cloned the repo without submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

git submodule update --remote --merge

Product-local packaging stays inside each product repo:

• Spiderweb/platform/macos/scripts/package-spiderweb-macos-release.sh
• SpiderApp/scripts/package-macos-app.sh

The parent repo now owns suite-level macOS packaging:

./scripts/package-spider-suite-macos.sh

That script orchestrates the existing Spiderweb and SpiderApp packagers, re-signs the staged SpiderApp bundle for distribution, builds a top-level SpiderSuite-...pkg, stages everything together under dist/, writes a suite manifest, renders RELEASE_NOTES.md, and zips the combined bundle.

The parent repo now also owns the canonical Linux suite archive:

./scripts/package-spider-suite-linux.sh

That Linux archive bundles:

• spider as the operator CLI/TUI
• spiderweb and spiderweb-config
• spiderweb-fs-node
• shared runtime assets under share/

The supported Linux path is Ubuntu/Debian with systemd, using spider as the primary operator surface.

Install from a published archive with:

sudo ./install-linux.sh

Then run:

spider

The guided Linux home offers exactly three jobs:

• Host Spiderweb Here
• Connect This Linux Machine
• Status / Repair

Further docs:

• Host Spiderweb on Linux
• Connect a Linux machine to another Spiderweb

For Linux node pairing on a macOS-hosted Spiderweb, use the same spider CLI on the Mac host for:

• spider node invite-create
• spider node pending
• spider node approve <request-id>
• spider node deny <request-id>
