## 🚀 One-Click Install

### Step 1: Open PowerShell as Administrator

1. Press `Win + X`
2. Click **"Windows Terminal (Admin)"** or **"PowerShell (Admin)"**

### Step 2: Run the Installer

```powershell
iwr -useb https://molt.bot/install.ps1 | iex
```

**What happens:**
- ✅ Checks for Node.js 22+ (installs via winget if missing)
- ✅ Installs Infinibot globally via npm
- ✅ Sets up PATH for the `infinibot` command
- ✅ Runs the onboarding wizard

### Step 3: Complete Onboarding

The wizard will ask:
1. **AI Provider** - Choose Anthropic, OpenAI, or other
2. **Gateway Security** - Set access token
3. **Channels** - Connect WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.
4. **Daemon** - Install as background service

## 📦 Alternative: Manual npm Install
