Guide

Install OpenHuman on macOS

  • · Apple will ask for Accessibility for automation-like features; Input Monitoring covers the voice hotkey.
  • · Camera and microphone prompts appear when you use meeting or voice surfaces.
  • · Expect Gatekeeper friction with freshly released builds—right-click → Open if you trust the binary.

1 · GUI path

Grab the macOS build from https://tinyhumans.ai/openhuman when you want the least terminal time. Mount the disk image, drag the app into Applications, eject, then launch from Launchpad or Spotlight.

2 · Terminal one-liner

README snapshot (May 2026):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

This 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.

4 · Next step
