The Linux release is a single AppImage. On first launch, the app downloads and manages its own services — proxy-router, llama.cpp AI runtime with the tinyllama demo model, and an IPFS node. For a source-build walk-through, see macOS install (from source) — the steps are nearly identical on Linux.

​
Steps

1

Download

Grab the latest AppImage from Releases. The asset is named like linux-x86_64-morpheus-app-<version>.AppImage (use linux-arm64-... on ARM64, e.g. Raspberry Pi). Mainnet builds have no suffix; testnet builds end in -test.
2

Make executable and launch

Adjust the filename to the version you downloaded:
3

Let the app fetch its services

The first launch (and the first after each update) shows a Starting services screen: the app downloads the proxy-router, AI runtime, demo model, and IPFS node, then starts and probes each one. Container Runtime (Docker) is only detected, never installed — it is needed only for containerized agent features. Click Skip to continue without it; Retry re-runs failed steps.
4

Onboard

Accept terms, set a UI password, create or recover a wallet. Save the mnemonic somewhere safe.
5

Validate

Open http://localhost:8082/swagger/index.html. Use Local Model in Chat to verify the pipeline.

​
Cleanup

Save your wallet mnemonic / private key first. This deletes the local key store along with the downloaded services.
(morpheus-app is the Electron package / userData folder name; the product name in the UI is MorpheusUI.) See also: Troubleshooting.
