macOS Install

curl -fsSL https://openjarvis.ai/install.sh | bash

Works on Intel and Apple Silicon. The installer auto-detects your CPU/GPU.

Prerequisites

If you've never run git or curl on this Mac, macOS will prompt you to install the Xcode Command Line Tools the first time you run them. Accept the prompt; that gives you both.

If you'd rather pre-install:

xcode-select --install

Apple Silicon notes

• The installer picks mlx as the recommended engine via the standard hardware-detect path, but the foreground default is still Ollama for compatibility. Switch later with jarvis init --force and pick mlx if you've installed mlx-lm.
• Unified memory is reported as "VRAM" by the installer — that's intentional; on Apple Silicon, system RAM is what GPU-accelerated models can use.
