Two Setup Paths

Desktop App

Best starting point on macOS. Installs Omnara and helps you set up your provider.

CLI Setup

Best for Linux, Windows, or anyone who prefers setting things up directly in the terminal.
The desktop app is the fastest way to get started on macOS.
1

Download Omnara

Download Omnara for macOS (.dmg, Apple Silicon)
2

Install

Open the .dmg and drag Omnara to your Applications folder.
3

Launch and sign in

Open Omnara, sign in, and follow the setup prompts to install and authenticate Claude Code or Codex.
4

Start coding

Open a project and start chatting with your coding agent.

CLI Setup

If you are on Linux or Windows, or you prefer the terminal, use this path.

1. Install a Provider

Omnara works with Claude Code or Codex. Install and authenticate one of them first. Claude Code
claude /login
You can also use ANTHROPIC_API_KEY instead of the Claude Code login flow.
Codex
npm install -g @openai/codex
codex login

2. Install Omnara

1

Install Omnara

Windows users: Run this command in WSL, not PowerShell or Command Prompt.
curl -fsSL https://omnara.com/install.sh | bash
2

Open your project

cd /path/to/your/project
3

Start Omnara

omnara
4

Sign in

Your browser opens automatically. Sign in to Omnara, then return to your terminal.

What Happens Next

After setup, Omnara starts a synced coding session in your project. This means sessions can keep running locally on your machine while you monitor it, reply to it, and steer it remotely from mobile, web, or any of your other devices.

Optional Setup

You do not need these on day one, but they unlock more features:
  • Connect GitHub if you want sandbox workflows for GitHub repos or pull request features
  • Enable workspace sync if you want remote sandbox migration based on checkpoints
