Installation

macOS (Homebrew — recommended):

brew tap cuttlefisch/mae
brew install mae                    # CLI + daemon + modules + manual KB
brew install --cask mae-app         # optional: GUI .app bundle
brew services start mae             # optional: background daemon

AppImage (Linux GUI): Just run it — all assets are bundled inside.

Everything else: Extract and run the installer:

# Linux tarball
mkdir ~/mae && tar xzf mae-linux-*.tar.gz -C ~/mae
cd ~/mae && ./install.sh

# macOS GUI (zip)
unzip MAE-macos-aarch64.zip -d ~/mae
cd ~/mae && ./install.sh

# macOS TUI (tarball)
mkdir ~/mae && tar xzf mae-macos-*.tar.gz -C ~/mae
cd ~/mae && ./install.sh

The installer handles everything: binaries to ~/.local/bin/, modules, manual KB, config scaffolding, .app bundle to ~/Applications (macOS), systemd units (Linux), and launchd agents (macOS).

Use ./install.sh /usr/local for a system-wide install. Use ./install.sh --uninstall to remove.

First launch: MAE runs a setup wizard — choose your AI provider, model, API key, and theme.
