Guide

Install OpenHuman on Windows

  • · Prefer the signed desktop build whenever SmartScreen prompts make scripting painful.
  • · Never pipe installers you have not skimmed—the script URL is correct today but can change upstream.
  • · After installation, jump to First launch before connecting sensitive accounts.

1 · GUI installer (simplest)

The upstream README points to https://tinyhumans.ai/openhuman. Download the Windows binary from that page when you want a predictable double-click flow and fewer surprises from antivirus heuristics.

2 · PowerShell one-liner

The README documents this exact invocation (May 2026 snapshot):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex
  • Open the raw script first: verify the URL hostname is GitHub and the path sits under scripts/install.ps1.
  • Execution policy blocks are normal corporate lockdowns — fix with whatever policy your administrator allows rather than weakening defenses blindly.
  • If SmartScreen flags the download, verify publisher info before continuing.

3 · After files land

Launch OpenHuman once. If Windows prompts for microphone or camera access later, that only matters when you enable voice or meeting features.
