Get openhuman with one command
Pick your system, reveal the step-by-step guide, copy the command, paste it into your terminal and press Enter. This command comes from the project's public source.
Not available for Windows yet.
openhuman doesn't publish an install command for Windows anywhere we can verify, so there's nothing for us to show you. We won't invent one.
Pastes into PowerShell and installs openhuman on your Windows machine in one step — no manual setup, no build tools. It fetches the project's own install script and runs it, which is the standard way these tools ship — worth a read if you like to know what's running.
Not available for macOS yet.
openhuman doesn't publish an install command for macOS or Linux anywhere we can verify, so there's nothing for us to show you. We won't invent one. It does document one for Windows — switch to that tab.
Pastes into your terminal and installs openhuman on your macOS or Linux machine in one step. Runs as your normal user account, and needs no administrator rights.
How to set up openhuman, step by step
Open PowerShell — press Win, type PowerShell, and press Enter — then paste the command and press Enter.
Run openhuman --help to see the available commands, and
openhuman --version to confirm the install worked. If your shell complains about
permissions, that project usually documents a corrected command on its own site.
This asks PowerShell to download a small installer script from the project, then execute it in memory. Nothing is saved to disk. The script is the project's own, but it's worth reading it first — that's why there's a note above.

On mobile
openhuman is a command-line tool, so there is no phone app for it — a phone has no shell to run it in. You'll need a desktop, or a remote shell into a machine that has one.
openhuman is developed by its own authors. This page is an independent reference; we are not affiliated with or sponsored by the project. The command shown here was reproduced from the project's public documentation — always check the project's own documentation before running anything.
