krypticmouseandClaude Opus 4.7 cf8d3e2cbe fix(install): serve install.sh from GitHub Pages, make it the canonical URL
The documented install command pointed at `https://openjarvis.ai/install.sh`,
but that domain is community-operated (not controlled by this project) and
its TLS config broke — every new user hit `sslv3 alert handshake failure`
(#337, #352). Since we can't fix a domain we don't control, this moves the
installer onto infrastructure we DO control: the project's GitHub Pages
docs site.

Changes:

- **`docs/gen_install_script.py`** (new) + **`mkdocs.yml`**: a `gen-files`
  hook copies `scripts/install/install.sh` verbatim into the built site at
  `install.sh` on every `mkdocs build`. Single source of truth — the script
  stays at `scripts/install/install.sh` (still bundled into the wheel as
  `_install_scripts/`); the published copy can't drift. Verified locally:
  `mkdocs build` emits `site/install.sh` byte-identical to the source.

  New canonical URL: `https://open-jarvis.github.io/OpenJarvis/install.sh`
  — HTTPS always valid (GitHub's cert), fully under project control.

- **`README.md`**: canonical command switched to the github.io URL for
  both the Installation and Quick Start blocks. Also addresses the uv
  discoverability gap — explicitly states the curl installer downloads uv
  for you (no prerequisite), and that the Windows **desktop .exe** expects
  uv to be installed first, with the exact PowerShell command.

- **`docs/getting-started/{install,wsl2,macos,linux}.md`**: canonical URL
  switched to github.io. `install.md` gains an "Install URL" info note
  explaining the github.io URL is canonical and that the older
  `openjarvis.ai` URL is community-operated with intermittent TLS issues.

- **`scripts/install/install.sh`** + **`jarvis-wrapper.sh`**: usage comment,
  the WSL re-run hint (added in #399), and the wrapper's re-install message
  all updated to the github.io URL.

Migration note for maintainers: ask whoever operates `openjarvis.ai` to
CNAME it to `open-jarvis.github.io`. Once they do, `openjarvis.ai/install.sh`
will serve this same GitHub Pages content with a valid GitHub-managed cert,
and the nicer brand URL can become canonical again with zero further code
changes. Until then, the github.io URL works and is under our control.

macOS Install

curl -fsSL https://open-jarvis.github.io/OpenJarvis/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.
