Install Fireball Wrangler Host on Windows on ARM
For Windows 11 on ARM: Snapdragon PCs, or Windows in Parallels on an Apple silicon Mac. It installs just for you and updates itself.
You need
- Windows 11 on ARM.
- About 400 MB free, plus room for your agents' projects.
- Not sure which Windows you have? Settings ▸ System ▸ About ▸ System type says x64-based or ARM-based.
Install
Three clicks. Wrangler is a preview and isn't code-signed yet, so Windows asks once.
Run the installer
Open FireballWranglerHost-Setup.exe from your Downloads.
If Windows protected your PC: More info, then Run anyway
SmartScreen shows this for new apps that aren't signed yet. Click More info, check the app is Fireball Wrangler Host, then click Run anyway.

The first time it opens
Fireball Wrangler Host opens to Get ready: sign in with your Fireball account, then add an AI account (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and more). Wrangler downloads and sets up each AI's command-line tool for you and opens its sign-in in your browser. When every row is checked, Start lights up.
Tools to install yourself
Wrangler sets up the AI tools for you. These few need your computer's own installer, so paste them into Terminal (or PowerShell). Get ready shows the same commands if one is missing.
Git for Windows
Required. Your agents use it to work on code. (Wrangler fetches a portable copy with your first Claude Code account if you skip this.)
winget install --id Git.GitGitHub CLI
Optional. Needed for GitHub Projects sync and for agents to open issues and pull requests.
winget install --id GitHub.cliThen sign in to GitHub:
gh auth login
If something's off
- There's no Run anyway button.
- Click More info first; the button appears under it. If your PC is managed by work or school, it may block unsigned apps. Ask your IT team.
- winget isn't recognized.
- Install App Installer from the Microsoft Store (it includes winget), then open a new Terminal window.
- How do I update?
- Wrangler checks by itself. To check now: Settings ▸ Updates ▸ Check for Updates.
- How do I remove it?
- Settings ▸ Apps ▸ Installed apps ▸ Fireball Wrangler Host ▸ Uninstall.
