Install Nami

Nami runs on macOS 13 or later and Windows 10 or later. It is one download, and there is nothing else to set up.

Get the right build

On a Mac

Most Macs made since 2020 need the Apple silicon build. Older ones need the Intel build. Not sure which you have? Click the apple in the top left of your screen, then About This Mac. If it says M1, M2, M3 or M4, take Apple silicon.

On Windows

Most PCs need the standard build. A PC with an Arm chip, like a Snapdragon laptop, needs the Arm build. Not sure which you have? Open Settings, then System, then About, and read System type. If it says ARM-based, take Arm.

Three steps

On a Mac

1. Download Nami.
2. Open it and drag Nami into Applications. The window that opens shows you exactly where to drop it.
3. Open Nami from Applications. It lands on the glass desk, empty, waiting for a folder.

On Windows

1. Download Nami.
2. Open the installer and follow it. It asks where to put Nami, then adds it to your desktop and your Start menu.
3. Open Nami from the Start menu. It lands on the glass desk, empty, waiting for a folder.

A few agents install through Git and Node, which Windows does not come with. Nami tells you when one is missing, with the one line that installs it.

Every Mac build is signed and notarised by Apple, so it opens straight away with no security warning. If macOS ever says the app cannot be opened, you have a copy from somewhere other than our releases page. Delete it and download it again.

Every Windows build is signed by Dainami, so it installs without a warning too. While a release is new, Edge may say the file "isn't commonly downloaded". Choose …, then Keep, then Show more, then Keep anyway.

Updates

When a new version is out, Nami tells you in the top bar. On a Mac, click download, then quit and open Nami again. On Windows, click download, run the new installer, then open Nami again. Your folders, sessions and settings carry over. A failed download never replaces a working app.
