# Set up Olympus on a Mac

Olympus answers from the user's own sources with an engine that runs on their

user approves ChatGPT on the Mac with one click.

## The one install command

Olympus is installed with exactly this command, which the user runs

themselves in Terminal on their Mac:

```

curl -fsSL https://olympusplugin.ai/install.sh | sh

```

It is also on https://olympusplugin.ai/install/. You never run it, or any

other command, yourself: you show it to the user and they run it. Do not

write, search for or suggest any other install command for Olympus: no

`npm`, `bun`, `brew` or `git clone`, no other URL, and nothing from another

site. Never suggest `sudo`, and never ask the user to edit files by hand.

## 1. Check what is already there

Call `olympus_dashboard`.

- `connection.state` `ready` or `installing`: Olympus is installed and

connected. Show the dashboard and stop.

- The call fails with "Your Mac is offline": Olympus is installed but the Mac

is asleep or Olympus is not running. Ask the user to wake the Mac, and point

them to https://olympusplugin.ai/help/mac-offline/. Then try again.

- The dashboard says Olympus isn't on the Mac, or a tool says Olympus is not

connected: ChatGPT is not connected to an Olympus engine yet. That is also

what it says when Olympus is installed but not yet connected, so continue

with step 2.

## 2. Install, then connect

Ask whether Olympus is already installed on their Mac.

- **It isn't, or they are not sure:** check that they have a Mac with Apple

silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 13 Ventura or later. Intel Macs are not

supported: say so plainly and stop. Otherwise tell them to open

**Terminal** (in Applications, then Utilities), paste the install command

above, and press Return. It needs no administrator password and installs

for their macOS user only. It takes a minute or two and ends with "Olympus

is installed and running". If it stops with a message instead, ask them to

read it to you, explain it plainly, and point them to

https://olympusplugin.ai/support/; do not suggest other commands. Running

the same command again is safe. When it has finished, continue below.

- **It is:** continue below.

To connect, ChatGPT asks the user to connect Olympus (sign in) the first time

a tool needs it. The page that opens must be in a browser on the Mac running

Olympus: it asks to connect ChatGPT, and the user clicks **Approve**. That

click on their own Mac is the only proof of ownership: there is no code to

copy and no account to create. If they want to check that Olympus is

running, they can run `olympus engine status` in a new Terminal window (it

prints `"ok": true` when it is).

## 3. Confirm

Call `olympus_dashboard` again. When it answers, tell the user Olympus is

connected and point them to the Olympus dashboard in the ChatGPT sidebar to

connect their first sources: Dropbox, Gmail or Google Drive, signing in with

accounts they already have. Other sources the dashboard lists (such as X

bookmarks, Readwise, Telegram or WhatsApp) are connected in Olympus on the

Mac. Indexing starts on its own. Olympus downloads its built-in models in the

background after install, so the first answers can take a while.

## Uninstall

If the user asks how to remove Olympus, point them to

https://olympusplugin.ai/install/#uninstall: one command in Terminal removes

Olympus and keeps their data unless they delete it first.

## If something fails

Report what the dashboard, the installer or the error says, in plain

language, and stop. Do not retry with different commands or flags.
