Reliant is a cloud service, so there are three ways in: use it in the browser with nothing to install, install the desktop app, or install the reliant command line tool to run a daemon on a machine of your own. Whichever you pick, you sign in to the same account, and what you see is the same.

​
Web app

Open app.reliantlabs.io and sign in. There is nothing to download. If you choose a Reliant cloud machine during setup, this is all you need, and it works from any device with a browser, including your phone.

​
Desktop app

The desktop app is the same interface in its own window. It also lets you use your own computer as the machine that runs your agents’ tools (read files, run commands) without any extra setup, because the app starts a daemon for you.

​
Requirements

You also need an internet connection, because Reliant’s servers run the agent loop and call the model.

​
Homebrew (macOS only)

Or add the tap first, then install:
Homebrew picks the right build for your Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel). The cask is for macOS only; on Windows and Linux use the direct downloads below. If you don’t have Homebrew, see brew.sh.

Direct download

Not sure which Mac you have? Check Apple menu → About This Mac → Chip. On Linux, make an AppImage executable and run it, or install the .deb with your package manager:

​
Command line tool

The reliant CLI is what runs a daemon on a machine you own, such as a workstation, a server or a Raspberry Pi, so your agents can work there. You don’t need it if you only use the web app or a Reliant cloud machine. The desktop installs include it and put it on your PATH: the Debian package and Windows installer do so at install time, and the other desktop installs do it the first time you open the app. Run reliant --version to check, then reliant daemon start to connect the machine to your account. See Your own computer for the full walkthrough. Reliant’s source is on GitHub under the Business Source License 1.1 (see the License FAQ). To build it yourself, follow CONTRIBUTING.md.

​
After installing

Launch Reliant and sign in. Setup walks you through choosing a machine, a model, and your first project; the Quick Start follows it step by step.

​
Updating

The desktop app updates itself. To check manually, use Reliant → Check for Updates. With Homebrew:
The web app is always current.
