Get started with HOBL

Choose the path that matches your experience and how you plan to use HOBL.

Beginner / quick start

For beginner users

Use the HOBL Installer to set up local web-browsing battery-life testing without cloning the repository. This is the fastest path for running an initial test.

This path does not create a local source checkout, so you will need to clone the HOBL repository later if you want to easily pull updates or submit pull requests.

Experienced users

For experienced users
