# Verify Installation

After installing Nexus OS, verify everything works correctly.

## Check Version

```bash
naos --version
# naos 0.1.0
```

## Check Help

```bash
naos --help
```

You should see a list of all available commands.

## Create a Test Project

```bash
# Create a temporary project
naos init /tmp/nexus-test
cd /tmp/nexus-test

# Verify project structure
ls -la
# nexus.config.yaml
# data/
# agents/
```

## Create a Test Agent

```bash
naos create test-agent --template researcher

# Expected output:
# ✓ Created agent: test-agent
# ✓ Template: researcher
# ✓ Agent ID: a1b2c3d4e5f6
```

## Check Status

```bash
naos status

# Expected output:
# Project: nexus-test
# Agents: 1
# 
# NAME         STATUS    ID
# test-agent   stopped   a1b2c3d4e5f6
```

## Run the Dashboard

```bash
naos dashboard --port 4200

# Expected output:

# Press Ctrl+C to stop
```

Open http://127.0.0.1:4200 in your browser. You should see the Nexus OS dashboard with your test agent listed.
