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 package for your OS from the GitHub releases page. Mainnet builds have no suffix; testnet builds end in -test. Asset names look like (version will differ):
OSFile
macOSmac-arm64-morpheus-app-<version>.dmg (Apple Silicon) or mac-x64-... (Intel)
Linuxlinux-x86_64-morpheus-app-<version>.AppImage (or linux-arm64-...)
Windowswin-x64-morpheus-app-<version>.exe (portable)
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 components it needs — the proxy-router, the AI runtime (llama.cpp), the local demo model (tinyllama), and an IPFS node — verifying what is already present and skipping anything it already has. It then starts each service and shows per-item status.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.
