macOS or Linux
From the folder where you downloaded the binary:
mkdir -p "$HOME/.local/bin"
install -m 755 paniolo-linux-x64 "$HOME/.local/bin/paniolo"
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"Substitute your macOS or Linux asset name. Add ~/.local/bin to your shell's PATH for future terminals.

paniolo init --dry-runinit --dry-run previews setup without changing files. The current portable release opens as a shared CLI. Product-specific mode selection is in development; the signed license will determine paid access independently of mode.
Before you start
These public release assets are portable binaries. Signed native installers are still in preparation. Your OS may warn about an unsigned download. Paniolo qmd may download models on first use; installing the executable alone does not make its first search offline. Paniolo runs locally and does not require a Node runtime. The npm package remains an option for Harness users.
