### Instructions
162+
163+
The local installer packages all required dependencies inside the installer itself, so you don’t need an internet connection during the installation process.
164+
The network installer downloads the necessary dependencies from the internet during the installation. This option provides a smaller installer, but requires an internet connection.
165+
166+
After installation, you can run Cortex.cpp from the command line by typing `cortex --help`. For beta and nightly builds, you can run `cortex-beta --help` and `cortex-nightly --help` respectively.
167+
168+
#### Windows and MacOS
169+
170+
Download the installer and double-click to the exe file to start the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
171+
172+
For MacOS, there is a uninstaller script comes with the binary and added to the `/usr/local/bin/` directory. The script is named `cortex-uninstall.sh` for stable builds, `cortex-beta-uninstall.sh` for beta builds and `cortex-nightly-uninstall.sh` for nightly builds.
173+
174+
#### Linux
175+
176+
Download the installer and run the following command in the terminal:
177+
178+
```bash
179+
sudo apt install ./cortex-local-installer.deb
180+
# or
181+
sudo apt install ./cortex-network-installer.deb
182+
```
183+
184+
The binary will be installed in the `/usr/bin/` directory.
