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:

  1. Decide GUI bundle vs README shell command for your distro.
  2. Run installers from a trusted session; skim install.sh contents first if you curl it.
  3. 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 | bash

2 · 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.
