Installation

Ream Desktop is distributed through GitHub Releases. On both platforms the recommended way to install is a single command: it installs the app without any system warnings.

One-command install (macOS)

1. Open Terminal: press ⌘ Space, type "Terminal" and hit Enter.
2. Paste the command and hit Enter:

curl -fsSL https://ream.design/install.sh | sh

The script does exactly three things:

1. downloads the latest Ream release from GitHub Releases for your architecture (Apple Silicon or Intel);
2. copies Ream.app into /Applications, replacing the previous version if there was one;
3. launches the app.

It installs and changes nothing else. You can read the script before running it: ream.design/install.sh.

After installation Ream keeps itself up to date through the built-in updater — you never need to run the command again.

One-command install (Windows)

1. Open PowerShell: press Win, type "PowerShell" and hit Enter.
2. Paste the command and hit Enter:

irm https://ream.design/install.ps1 | iex

The script does exactly four things:

1. downloads the latest Ream release for 64-bit Windows from GitHub Releases;
2. verifies it against the published sha256 checksum;
3. runs the installer for the current user — no administrator prompt;
4. launches the app.

It installs and changes nothing else. You can read the script before running it: ream.design/install.ps1.

If you downloaded the .exe from the downloads page instead, run it and click "More info" → "Run anyway" when SmartScreen appears — Ream is not signed with an Authenticode certificate yet, so Windows warns about any browser-downloaded installer.
