Install Fermi Console

Native desktop app for probabilistic forecasting with AI agents. Three steps, about two minutes.

Heads-up: pre-built binaries cover Linux (x86_64) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). On Windows you'll need WSL or a build from source — see the build instructions.
  1. Open Terminal

    On Ubuntu / Debian / Pop!_OS: press Ctrl + Alt + T. On other distros, launch your usual terminal app. On macOS: press ⌘ + Space, type Terminal, hit Enter.

  2. Paste this command and press Enter

    The same command works on Linux and macOS — it detects your OS and CPU, downloads the matching build, and puts fermi-console in ~/.local/bin. On Linux it also installs a few system graphics libraries first.

    $ curl -fsSL https://__HOST__/fermi-console/install.sh | bash
    What this does: reads a small script from this site (you can preview it here) and downloads the binary from GitHub Releases.

    On Linux it first runs apt-get install for a few graphics libraries (Vulkan, XCB, fontconfig), so it asks for your sudo password once.

    On macOS there is no apt-get step and no sudo prompt — Metal and the system frameworks already ship with the OS, so it only downloads the binary into ~/.local/bin.
    What if I don't want to pipe curl into bash?
    Fair. Save it first, read it, then run it:
    $ curl -fsSL https://__HOST__/fermi-console/install.sh -o install.sh && less install.sh && bash install.sh
    macOS: I'd rather have a Dock icon
    Grab the Fermi Console.app zip for your chip — …-macos-aarch64.zip for Apple Silicon, …-macos-x86_64.zip for Intel — from the latest GitHub release, unzip it, and drag the app into /Applications.

    The app is ad-hoc code-signed but not Apple-notarized, so the very first launch needs right-click → Open (then Open again in the dialog). If macOS blocks it anyway, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Subsequent launches are normal double-clicks.
  3. Launch it

    In the same terminal, type:

    $ fermi-console

    A window will appear. Sign in on the Dashboard with Google or GitHub, and you're done. Future updates are handled in-app under Help → Check for Updates.
