Install or upgrade Insomnia, the macOS menu bar app that keeps a Mac awake for a timed session, from a GitHub release or from source. Use when the user asks to install, update or reinstall Insomnia.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Install Insomnia

The exact commands are in
[docs/install.md](https://github.com/krishhgg/Insomnia/blob/main/docs/install.md).
Read that page, then follow these steps. Never run `sudo` yourself and never
pass a password to it. When a step needs the administrator password, give the
user the exact command to run in Terminal and wait for them to say it finished.

1. **Check the Mac.** Insomnia needs macOS 26 or later (`sw_vers -productVersion`).
   Release zips run only on Apple Silicon: `sysctl -n hw.optional.arm64` prints
   `1`. On an Intel Mac, use "Build from source" and tell the user that build is
   untested on Intel.
2. **Pick the channel.** Use the latest stable release unless the user asked
   for the newest nightly. If the release is `v0.1.0`, follow its release notes
   instead of docs/install.md.
3. **Download and verify.** Follow "Install a release yourself", steps 1 and
   2. Run both checks. Keep `--source-digest` and the full 40-character commit.
   If either check fails, stop and tell the user. Do not download a different
   file to get past it.
4. **Install.** Step 3 of the same section runs `install.sh`, which asks for

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add krishhgg/insomnia/install-insomnia@sha256:65c438488655e8a2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.988be58, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
