  • Linux: AppImage
  • Windows (alpha): Installer exe

Development Builds

Download pre-built binaries of main from GitHub Actions:
  • macOS: Signed and notarized DMG
    • build-macos-x64 (Intel Macs)
    • build-macos-arm64 (Apple Silicon)
  • Linux: build-linux AppImage (portable, works on most distros)
  • Windows: build-windows installer exe
To download:
  1. Go to the PR workflow (main branch)
  2. Click on the latest successful run
  3. Scroll down to “Artifacts” section
  4. Download the appropriate artifact for your platform

Installation

macOS:
  1. Download the DMG file for your Mac:
    • Intel Mac: macos-dmg-x64
    • Apple Silicon: macos-dmg-arm64
  2. Open the DMG file
  3. Drag Mux to Applications folder
  4. Open the app normally
The app is code-signed and notarized by Apple, so it will open without security warnings. Linux:
  1. Download the AppImage file
  2. Make it executable: chmod +x Mux-*.AppImage
  3. Run it: ./Mux-*.AppImage
Windows (alpha):
  1. Download the installer exe from releases (e.g., mux-x.x.x-x64.exe)
  2. Run the installer
  3. Follow the installation prompts
  4. Launch Mux from the Start menu or desktop shortcut
Windows support is currently in alpha. Please report any issues you encounter.

Testing Pre-Release Builds

Only builds from the main branch are signed and notarized. If you’re testing a build from a pull request or other branch, you’ll need to bypass macOS Gatekeeper:
  1. After installing, open Terminal
  2. Run: xattr -cr /Applications/Mux.app
  3. Run: codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Mux.app
  4. Now you can open the app normally

CLI via npm

The mux CLI can also be run directly via npx without installing the desktop app:
# Run agent tasks
npx mux run "Fix the failing tests"

# Start the server for remote/mobile access
npx mux server --port 3000
Or install globally:
npm install -g mux
This is ideal for CI/CD pipelines and scripted automation. See the CLI documentation for all available commands and options.
