# Onboard Your Compute

Go to [Fleet](https://portal.kinesis.network/dashboard/provider/fleet). If the list is empty, Add machines is at the top right and in the empty state — same action.

Once you are in **Add machines**, choose your environment. Copy the install command and run it on the host.

You can leave this page. Use **Go to fleet**.

Once the host is in, the row shows **Needs setup**. The **Needs setup** card shows **1** and **Not listed yet**. Click **Set them up** on the banner or **Set up** on the row.

Pick **Until I change it**, or **Until a date**. Leave **Notice period** at **24 hrs** unless you need something else. **You earn** is filled in from the machine’s specs. Click **List as spot capacity**.

Once you list it, the row shows **Idle**. The machine can be matched. Earnings start when the status becomes **Rented**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/kinetization-of-idle-compute/onboard-your-compute.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
