How to set up mesh wifi without a smart phone?

[713]

I don't have a smart phone, but all instructions seem to only use a smart phone to set up the Google mesh wifi.  Can I use the app on my computer to set up?

The Google Home app is the only way to set up and manage a Google Nest Wifi network, as mentioned here:

But some unverified workarounds (as in I don't know if they'll work) are listed in this reply:

Basically, you could try Chrome OS Flex which should be able to run Android apps ( https://developer.android.com/topic/arc/development-environment ), WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android) on Windows + sideload the Google Home app, or an x86 Android OS, like:
