Install OpenHuman on Linux
- · Prefer TinyHumans’ hosted Linux bundle when it exists—the curl script is README-faithful for x64 rigs.
- · Read install.sh before piping to bash anytime upstream rebases the repo.
- · Capture exact distro + error text—Wayland/audio/library gaps vary wildly between flavors.
Full download + README commands: Start here. This page adds Linux-specific notes only.
GUI wizard screenshots on this site show Windows Setup only; Linux installs vary by bundle or script (see below).
You'll:
- Decide GUI bundle vs README shell command for your distro.
- Run installers from a trusted session; skim install.sh contents first if you curl it.
- Launch OpenHuman and continue with first-run onboarding.
1 · Primary flow
If upstream ships a downloadable Linux bundle on https://tinyhumans.ai/openhuman, prefer that when you want the least brittle path. Otherwise the README-maintained shell command is:
# For macOS or Linux x64
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/main/scripts/install.sh | bash2 · Resources
Documentation recommends 4 GB+ RAM as a floor and 16 GB+ when you plan to ingest very large Gmail mailboxes or codebases—or run companion Ollama workloads on the same machine.
3 · Next steps
Finish install, then proceed to permissions and onboarding in First launch.
