The Wild Cloud software is Open Source and free. All you need to do is download it onto your operator machine, install some other programs we require, and then run the setup script. The setup script walks you through the process of installing your DNS machine, your control nodes, your worker nodes, and then any software you want to run on your cloud.

## Your operator machine
Your operator machine is your main workspace (I think of it more as play, actually) for managing your wild cloud. You will install the Wild Cloud software on your operator machine and use it to setup and manage everything related to your wild cloud.
## Download the Wild Cloud software onto your operator machine
Your operator machine should be a Debian-based Linux machine (e.g. Debian or Ubuntu) on your LAN. It's helpful if it has a nice big hard drive you can use for backing up your cloud data.
