Faro v1.3.38

Faro v1.3.38

Cross-platform desktop client for SFTP · FTP · S3 · plus the Agent Bridge (hand a live SSH session to an AI agent). Grab the installer for your OS below.

🖥️ Desktop app

macOS (universal — Intel + Apple Silicon)

File	Size
Faro_1.3.38_universal.dmg	17.9 MB
Faro_universal.app.tar.gz	17.8 MB

⚠️ macOS Gatekeeper: these builds are not notarized by Apple, so the first launch is blocked ("Faro is damaged / from an unidentified developer"). Drag Faro.app into /Applications, then run this once in Terminal:

xattr -cr /Applications/Faro.app

Then open it normally. (You only need to do this once per install.)

Windows (x64)

File	Size
Faro_1.3.38_x64-portable.zip	8.9 MB
Faro_1.3.38_x64-setup.exe	6.8 MB
Faro_1.3.38_x64_en-US.msi	9.5 MB

⚠️ Windows SmartScreen: unsigned installer, so you'll see "Windows protected your PC." Click More info → Run anyway. The -setup.exe is the NSIS installer; the .msi is for managed/MDM deployments.

👜 Portable: the -portable.zip needs no install — unzip and run Faro.exe. Requires WebView2 (preinstalled on Windows 11 and most Windows 10). Note: settings still live in %APPDATA%, and faro:// deep links are only registered by the installer.

Linux (x64)

File	Size
Faro-1.3.38-1.x86_64.rpm	10.4 MB
Faro_1.3.38_amd64.AppImage	85.5 MB
Faro_1.3.38_amd64.deb	10.4 MB

.AppImage: chmod +x and run. .deb: sudo apt install ./<file>.deb. .rpm: sudo dnf install ./<file>.rpm.

⌨️ Standalone CLI — faro-cli

Scripts every backend the GUI speaks, using the same saved profiles. Rename to faro-cli (faro-cli.exe on Windows), chmod +x on macOS/Linux, drop it on your PATH.

File	Size
faro-cli-linux-x86_64	12.6 MB
faro-cli-macos-arm64	10.0 MB
faro-cli-macos-x86_64	11.5 MB
faro-cli-windows-x86_64.exe	11.5 MB

macOS CLI binary is unsigned too — xattr -c ./faro-cli-macos-arm64 before the first run.

🖥️ Faro Agent — control another machine

Already have Faro on both machines? You don't need anything below. Open Settings → Remote control on the machine you want to control, toggle it on, click Show pairing code, and enter that code on your other Faro. No download, no terminal.

For a headless Linux/macOS server, one line installs the agent, sets it up as a service, and opens a pairing window:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/jhd3197/faro/releases/latest/download/install-agentd.sh | sh

Or grab the faro-agentd binary directly and run faro-agentd pair (then faro-agentd install to autostart it as a service):

File	Size
faro-agentd-linux-x86_64	2.4 MB
faro-agentd-macos-arm64	1.8 MB
faro-agentd-macos-x86_64	2.1 MB
faro-agentd-windows-x86_64.exe	2.0 MB

Same unsigned-binary caveats as the CLI (macOS xattr -c, Windows SmartScreen). The link is end-to-end encrypted and key-pinned; the daemon keeps its own exec/write policy — see the Faro Agent docs.

Verify your download: SHA256SUMS.txt has a checksum for every file above — sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt (Linux/macOS) or certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256 (Windows).
