LocalAI binaries are available for both Linux and MacOS platforms and can be executed directly from your command line. These binaries are continuously updated and hosted on our GitHub Releases page. This method also supports Windows users via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

macOS Download

You can download the DMG and install the application:

Note: the DMGs are not signed by Apple as quarantined. See https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/issues/6268 for a workaround, fix is tracked here: https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/issues/6244

Otherwise, use the following one-liner command in your terminal to download and run LocalAI on Linux or MacOS:

curl -Lo local-ai "https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/releases/download/{{< version >}}/local-ai-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" && chmod +x local-ai && ./local-ai

{{% notice icon="⚡" context="warning" %}} Binaries do have limited support compared to container images:

• Python-based backends are not shipped with binaries (e.g. bark, diffusers or transformers)
• MacOS binaries and Linux-arm64 do not ship TTS nor stablediffusion-cpp backends
• Linux binaries do not ship stablediffusion-cpp backend {{% /notice %}}
