Install OpenHuman on macOS
- · Download the DMG from TinyHumans for the friendliest route; terminal scripts mirror the README verbatim.
- · Plan on Accessibility approvals; Input Monitoring fuels the optional global voice hotkey.
- · Fresh betas occasionally need right-click → Open the first time Gatekeeper blinks.

Step-by-step wizard screenshots are from the Windows installer; on Mac you mount the .dmg and drag to Applications (see below).
You'll:
- Download the macOS installer from TinyHumans, open the .dmg, drag OpenHuman into Applications.
- Open the app; if Gatekeeper blocks it once, right-click (or Ctrl+click) → Open and confirm.
- Use Launchpad or Spotlight whenever you're ready for first-run permissions.

README excerpt (mirror of Start-here):
# For macOS or Linux x64
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/main/scripts/install.sh | bashThis script is meant for macOS or Linux x64 per the README comment in the repository—if you are on Apple Silicon, confirm the script output matches your architecture before continuing.
3 · Permission map
- Accessibility — required for assistive features that watch input context.
- Input Monitoring — powers the global voice hotkey.
- Camera / Microphone — only if you join Google Meet through the mascot or use native voice capture.
You can revisit choices under Settings → Automation & Channels as described in the upstream Getting Started guide.
