Desktop app

The Tauri GUI — a desktop client for the mesh. Every bundle carries the myownmesh daemon inside and auto-spawns it, so installing the app gets you both; a bare myownmesh on your PATH opens the GUI.

macOS

macOS 12 or newer. Open the .dmg, drag MyOwnMesh to Applications.

Apple Silicon (M1–M4) .dmg Intel Mac .dmg

Unsigned alpha build: → About This Mac shows your chip; first launch may need right-click → Open.

Windows

Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit. Run the installer and follow the prompts.

Installer (recommended) .exe MSI (IT-managed setups) .msi

Linux 64-bit x86

Native packages for the common distros, plus a portable AppImage that runs anywhere.

Debian / Ubuntu .deb Fedora / RHEL / SUSE .rpm AppImage (any distro) .AppImage

Raspberry Pi arm64

Pi 4 / 5 on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, or any other arm64 Linux device.

Raspberry Pi OS / Debian .deb Fedora / RHEL (aarch64) .rpm AppImage (any arm64) .AppImage

Use 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm or newer). The 32-bit armv7l image isn't supported.

Headless daemon

Just the myownmesh daemon and CLI — one static binary, no GUI. Built for servers and Pi fleets you drive from another machine's desktop app. This is exactly what the one-line installer drops on your PATH.

macOS · Apple Silicon .tar.gz macOS · Intel .tar.gz Linux · x86_64 .tar.gz Linux · aarch64 (Pi) .tar.gz Windows · x86_64 .zip Embedded · riscv64 .tar.gz · static musl Embedded · aarch64 (musl) .tar.gz · static musl

Each archive ships a matching .sha256 sidecar on the releases page; verify with sha256sum -c. Unpack and put myownmesh somewhere on your PATH. The two embedded tarballs are fully static, daemon-only builds for boards and appliances.

Or install from the command line

One command: detect the platform, pull the matching binaries from GitHub Releases, verify the SHA-256, install the daemon and the desktop GUI. The scripts are hosted right here on this site.

# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://myownmesh.net/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://myownmesh.net/install.ps1 | iex

# From source — needs cargo (https://rustup.rs)
git clone https://github.com/mrjeeves/MyOwnMesh
cd MyOwnMesh
cargo install --path crates/myownmesh         # myownmesh on $PATH via ~/.cargo/bin

Add -s -- --serve (shell) or -Serve (PowerShell) to launch the daemon as soon as it's installed, or --no-gui / -NoGui for a headless, daemon-only box.

After it's installed

Open a new terminal so the updated PATH takes effect.
Run it. myownmesh opens the desktop GUI; myownmesh serve runs the daemon in the foreground on a headless box.
Join a network. Devices on the same network ID find each other through public Nostr relays, then talk over encrypted WebRTC — no server you run.
Forget about it. The daemon self-updates against the release feed (package-manager installs defer to the package manager).

New here? The quick start walks through identity, joining a network, channels and RPC. Hit a snag? Open an issue.
