Your computer shows a one-time security notice from Apple or Microsoft — every new app sees this until its developer verification completes (ours is in progress; once done, these steps disappear and installation is a plain double-click). Here is exactly what you'll see and what to click. Total time: about a minute.
Click Download for Mac, then double-click VanillaBrain-Mac.pkg in your Downloads folder. macOS will show this notice:
Apple could not verify this software is free of malware.
Move to Trash DoneClick the Apple menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security in the sidebar, then scroll to the bottom. You'll find:
“VanillaBrain-Mac.pkg” was blocked to protect your Mac.
Open AnywayClick Open Anyway, confirm with your Mac password or Touch ID, and the normal installer opens. Click Continue → Install. The installer does everything: wires your AI agents, schedules nightly self-maintenance, and opens your dashboard when it finishes. You never touch a terminal.
Click Download for Windows, then double-click VanillaBrain-Windows.bat in your Downloads folder. Windows may show this blue screen:
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.
More infoAfter More info, a Run anyway button appears — click it.
App: VanillaBrain-Windows.bat
Publisher: Unknown publisher
A small window shows the install progress, then your brain dashboard opens in the browser. Everything is wired automatically — agents, nightly self-maintenance, all of it. The window says when it's safe to close.
