1. Download to `/tmp/` on VPS
2. SCP to laptop: `scp -i /root/.ssh/id_hermes_ed25519 /tmp/AionUi-*.exe mclou@laptop-cd8df7fs:C:/Users/mclou/Downloads/`
3. Install silently: `ssh mclou@laptop-cd8df7fs "cmd /c start /wait C:\\Users\\mclou\\Downloads\\AionUi-*.exe /S"`
4. Find install path: `powershell -Command "Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\\Users\\mclou\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\AionUi' -Recurse -Filter 'AionUi.exe' -EA SilentlyContinue | Select -Expand FullName"`
5. Launch: `powershell -Command "Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\\Users\\mclou\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\AionUi\\AionUi.exe' -PassThru | Format-Table -AutoSize Id,ProcessName"`

## Recommended Setup for Rocky (in priority order)
1. **WebUI + Tailscale remote access** — AionUi → WebUI → enable → browse from phone anywhere
   - Windows cmd: `AionUi.exe --webui --remote`
   - Tailscale gives the network path to laptop (already running there)
2. **ACP integration** — connect Hermes Agent to Aion UI dashboard
   - Docs: https://github.com/iOfficeAI/AionUi/wiki/ACP-Setup
3. **Telegram bridge** — defer (WhatsApp already bridged)

## Setup NOT needed
- Built-in LLM providers — Rocky already has API keys wired through Hermes
- Additional model configs — skip unless specifically requested

## Pending (2026-05-12 — waiting for Rocky to get home)
1. **WebUI + Tailscale** — enable WebUI in AionUi, confirm Tailscale on laptop, access from phone
2. **ACP integration** — connect Hermes Agent to Aion UI dashboard
