Install and update
Install
- Go to the Atlas Studio page and press Download for your computer: Windows or Mac. Linux is coming soon.
- Windows: double click the file you downloaded. It installs in one click and opens. Mac: open the file and drag Atlas Studio into Applications.
- Open Atlas Studio.
The models Atlas needs to chat with Claude and ChatGPT come inside the app. You do not need to install anything else or open a terminal.
Note
The first time on a Mac, macOS may say it cannot check the app. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and press Open Anyway, then type your Mac password. You only do this once.
| Computer | Needs |
|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 10 or newer |
| Mac | macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer. One app for Apple chips and Intel. |
| Linux | Coming soon |
Keeping it up to date
When a newer version is out, a box appears at the bottom of the left menu: New update available, with the version number and an Update now button.
- Windows: press Update now. Atlas downloads it, closes and opens again on the new version. That is all.
- Mac: press Update now. When it is downloaded the box says Downloaded. Drag it into Applications. Press Show me, then drag the new Atlas Studio into your Applications folder, the same as when you installed it.
Atlas checks for updates on its own when it opens and every few hours. To check right now, go to Profile and press Check for updates.
Note
If nothing appears at the bottom of the menu, you are already on the newest version.
