Install AI Anywhere on macOS or Linux

Run the installer

Use curl, or inspect the script at tmux.online/install.sh before running it. Node.js 22.5 or newer and tmux are required

Authorise this machine

The installer starts AI Anywhere and opens or prints a local URL. If the machine is not authorised, sign in and complete the device flow

Start it again later

The service is configured for launchd on macOS or a systemd user unit on Linux. You can also start it directly; the local web UI uses 127.0.0.1:51984 by default

Upgrade to the latest version

When a newer version is published, ai-anywhere up offers to install it - at most once a day. Accept and it upgrades in place, then asks you to start it again

To upgrade by hand at any time, run the installer again. It replaces the CLI and keeps your data, running tmux sessions and device authorisation

• tmux keeps your sessions through the upgrade; the service finds them again on the next start
• What changed in each version is listed at tmux.online/changelog
