This is the shortest path to chat with a remote model on Morpheus. For a full walk-through (including the optional local-only model and cleanup), see Consumer install.
1

Download a release

Grab the latest Desktop Application for your OS from the GitHub releases page. Current releases ship installers (.dmg / .AppImage / portable .exe) — not a zip archive and not mor-launch. Mainnet builds have no suffix; testnet builds end in -test. Asset names look like (version will differ):
2

Install and launch

Open the .dmg and drag MorpheusUI into Applications. The build is not notarized, so clear the quarantine flag before the first launch:
Then open the app from Applications.
3

Let the app fetch its components

On every OS, the first launch (and the first launch after an update) shows a Starting services screen. The app downloads the proxy-router first (required), then optional local AI / IPFS pieces, and starts the Proxy Router before optional services so onboarding is not blocked if local tinyllama or IPFS fails.One item, Container Runtime (Docker), is only detected, never installed: it is required solely for containerized agent features. If a service fails or you don’t need it — no Docker installed, for example — click Skip to continue into the app; Retry re-runs the failed steps.
4

Onboard the UI

In MorpheusUI, accept the terms, set a password, and either create a new wallet or recover an existing one with your mnemonic. Save the mnemonic somewhere safe.
5

Fund the wallet

Send MOR and ETH on BASE to the wallet address shown in the lower-left of the UI. See Networks and tokens.

Open a session and chat

Click Chat → Change Model, pick a remote model, click Open Session, stake at least 5 MOR, and prompt away. To close early, expand the session line and click the X next to it.
Confused about MOR appearing “locked” right after opening a session? That is expected — see Where is my MOR? and Session states.
