One command. Auto-detects your OS and CPU. Works on Linux, Raspberry Pi, and macOS.
Run this on any supported machine — Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS, or macOS:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deke-create/qbit_me/main/install-qbit.sh | bash -s -- -y
Safe to re-run — detects existing Hermes and never overwrites it. Existing qbit binaries are updated cleanly.
Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit). Works on standard PCs, servers, and Raspberry Pi 3/4/5. Requires curl, sudo, and internet access.
Intel and Apple Silicon. The installer will detect macOS and install the Hermes Agent, but the qbit browser setup flow is not yet supported on macOS (requires launchd adaptation).
For users who want more control over the install.
