title: Installation
|
|
description: Install PenguinHarness via the install script, npm, or from source.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Linux / macOS (x64 or arm64): the install script ships platform tarballs with an official Node.js runtime bundled — no local Node needed.
|
|
- Windows 10 or later (x64) with PowerShell 5.1+: the Windows installer ships `penguin-win32-x64.zip` with the runtime bundled — no local Node needed.
|
|
- Other platforms, or installing via npm / from source: system Node.js >= 24.
|
|
|
|
## Script install (recommended)
|
|
|
|
On Linux / macOS:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fsSL https://penguin.ooo/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script downloads the matching `penguin-{linux,darwin}-{x64,arm64}.tar.gz` — the canonical installer bundle, sealing the program payload (with an official Node.js runtime), the payload's SHA256 checksum and this same installer. The download is verified against its published `.sha256`, then the sealed payload checksum is verified again before anything is staged. Other POSIX platforms do **not** fall back automatically: the script exits and asks you to install Node.js >= 24 and re-run with `--universal`, which selects the runtime-less `penguin-universal.tar.gz` bundle (Windows is served by its own installer below, not by `--universal`).
|
|
|
|
On Windows (PowerShell):
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
irm https://penguin.ooo/install.ps1 | iex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To pin a version, set the env var first:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
$env:PENGUIN_VERSION = "vX.Y.Z"; irm https://penguin.ooo/install.ps1 | iex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Verify the install:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
penguin -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Offline install
|
|
|
|
The same Release artifacts serve offline installation — there is no separate offline package. Download the file matching the target computer on a connected machine (`penguin-<target>.tar.gz`, or `penguin-win32-x64.zip` for Windows), transfer that one file, then extract it once.
|
|
|
|
On Windows, double-click `install.cmd`, or run:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\install.ps1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On Linux / macOS, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The extracted bundle keeps the installer, the program payload (`payload.tar.gz` / `payload.zip`) and the payload's `.sha256` together; the installer finds the sibling payload by itself, always verifies the sealed checksum and performs no network requests — no separate checksum file needs to be transferred. You can also point the installer at a file explicitly: `install.sh --archive <file>`, `PENGUIN_ARCHIVE=<file>`, `install.ps1 -ArchivePath <file>`, or `$env:PENGUIN_ARCHIVE` — accepting a Release bundle, its inner payload, or a pre-0.1.6 legacy program archive alike.

|
### Install location and options
|
|
|
|
| Item | Details |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Install dir | `~/.penguin` by default; override with the `PENGUIN_INSTALL_DIR` env var |
|
|
| Command entry | A symlink `~/.local/bin/penguin` is created (the script warns if `~/.local/bin` is not on PATH) |
|
|
| Version pin | `PENGUIN_VERSION=vX.Y.Z` env var, or the `--version vX.Y.Z` script flag; defaults to the latest Release |
|
|
| Local archive | `PENGUIN_ARCHIVE=<file>` or `--archive <file>`; accepts a Release bundle (self-verifying via its sealed payload checksum) or a payload/legacy program archive with an adjacent `<file>.sha256` (renamed legacy files may use the platform asset's canonical `.sha256`) |
|
|
| Integrity check | Always on: online downloads are verified against the published `.sha256`, and bundle payloads against the checksum sealed inside the bundle |
|
|
| Upgrade | Re-run the install script; files are swapped atomically |
|
|
|
|
Script flags go after `sh -s --`, e.g. `curl -fsSL https://penguin.ooo/install.sh | sh -s -- --universal`.
|
|
|
|
### Windows specifics
|
|
|
|
| Item | Details |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Install dir | `%USERPROFILE%\.penguin` by default; override with the `PENGUIN_INSTALL_DIR` env var |
|
|
| Command entry | the `bin\penguin.cmd` launcher (deliberately no `.ps1` launcher — batch files are exempt from the PowerShell execution policy, so `penguin` works even under the default Restricted policy); the installer adds `%USERPROFILE%\.penguin\bin` to your **user** Path and broadcasts the change — open a **new terminal window** once (a new tab of an already-running terminal keeps the old Path) |
|
|
| Version pin | `$env:PENGUIN_VERSION = "vX.Y.Z"` before running the installer |
|
|
| Local archive | `$env:PENGUIN_ARCHIVE = "<file>"` or `-ArchivePath <file>`; accepts the Release bundle (self-verifying via its sealed payload checksum) or a payload/legacy zip with an adjacent `<file>.sha256` (renamed legacy files may use `penguin-win32-x64.zip.sha256`) |
|
|
| Integrity check | Always on: online downloads are verified against the published `.sha256`, and bundle payloads against the checksum sealed inside the bundle |
|
|
| Upgrade | Re-run the installer; it swaps `bin`/`lib`/`web`/`node` and never touches `data` |
|
|
|
|
- **Agent shell**: on Windows, the agent's `exec_command` runs in a POSIX shell, for compatibility with skills written for one. It picks, in order: `bash` on PATH (your own [Git for Windows](https://gitforwindows.org/), preferred because it carries the full MSYS userland); then the **bundled bash** — the Windows zip ships MinGit under `git\`, so a machine with no Git for Windows still gets a POSIX shell, about sixty core utilities and `git.exe`; then PowerShell (`pwsh`, then `powershell`). The PowerShell fallback is only reached by npm installs, which bundle nothing. The `PENGUIN_SHELL` env var overrides the pick; the session's system prompt tells the model which shell is active. The bundled shell's licensing is recorded in [THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md](https://github.com/Prism-Shadow/penguin-harness/blob/main/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md).
|
|
- **Ctrl-C semantics**: on Windows, sending Ctrl-C to a running command session (`input_command` with `"\u0003"`) terminates the whole command session tree instead of interrupting the foreground command — Windows cannot deliver a console Ctrl-C to a piped child process, so the interrupt degrades to a hard tree kill.
|
|
- **In-place update**: `penguin update` is not yet supported on Windows — upgrade by re-running the installer above.
|
|
- **Config file permissions**: on POSIX, config/credential files are written with `0600` (owner-only) permissions; Windows has no such mode bits, so files fall under your profile's default NTFS ACLs.
|
|
- If PowerShell refuses to run `penguin` with "running scripts is disabled", the blocked file is a `penguin.ps1` launcher — from an install older than 0.1.6 (re-run the installer: upgrades replace `bin\` and remove it) or generated by an npm global install (call `penguin.cmd` explicitly, or allow local scripts with `Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned`). The packaged install itself ships only `penguin.cmd`, which runs under any execution policy.
|
|
|
|
### Data directory
|
|
|
|
The data directory defaults to `~/.penguin/data` (`%USERPROFILE%\.penguin\data` on Windows) — under the install home, but never modified by install or upgrade — and is overridable with the `PENGUIN_HOME` env var. Model configuration, Session records, and other data are preserved across upgrades.
|
|
|
|
## npm install
|
|
|
|
Requires system Node.js >= 24:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g @prismshadow/penguin-cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The npm package is `@prismshadow/penguin-cli`; the installed command is `penguin`. Web UI assets ship inside the `@prismshadow/penguin-server` package, so this single install yields a working `penguin web`. This route works on every platform (including Windows) and is the alternative when the packaged zip/tarball is unsuitable.
|
|
|
|
## From source
|
|
|
|
Requires Node.js >= 24 and pnpm:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Prism-Shadow/penguin-harness.git
|
|
cd penguin-harness
|
|
pnpm install && pnpm build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After the build, run `pnpm penguin <args>` inside the repo as the dev runner, or use the globally linked `penguin` command. Dev entry points (`pnpm penguin`, `pnpm dev`) default to a separate data root `~/.penguin/dev-data`, while the linked/installed `penguin` keeps `~/.penguin/data`; export `PENGUIN_HOME` to override.
