Installation
Download DAEMON, install it, and connect your agent.
Download#
Needs a Claude (Anthropic) account sign-in on first launch, plus Node.js 22+. Builds are not code-signed yet, so Windows and macOS will show a security warning: install help.
Builds are not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper will warn you on first run. Signed builds are planned. See Install Help for the exact steps on each OS and how to verify your download against the SHA-256 checksums attached to every release.
Prerequisites#
- A Claude (Anthropic) account, required on first launch: sign in with OAuth or paste an API key
- Node.js 22+, required for agent spawning and terminal sessions
- pnpm (recommended), faster installs and used internally by DAEMON
First Launch#
On first run, DAEMON shows a boot loader sequence followed by the onboarding wizard. This walks you through workspace configuration, Claude sign-in (required before agent features unlock), and optional integrations. Takes about 2 minutes once the download finishes.
