NexusRun is one static file with nothing to install alongside it. NexusRun Studio is a canvas for wiring the models on your computer into a working workflow. Both run locally.
NexusRun · the runtime
The nexus command runs, packages and ships AI units. Pick your platform, unpack it, and put nexus on your PATH.

All checksums are in checksums.txt. Every release is listed on GitHub, and the source is on GitHub too.
Unpack, move it onto your PATH, and check it runs.
tar -xzf nexus-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo install -m 755 nexus-linux-amd64/nexus /usr/local/bin/nexus
nexus --version
Use the file name you downloaded. On a Mac, if macOS blocks the file the first time, clear the download flag with xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/nexus.
In PowerShell, from the folder you downloaded to:
Expand-Archive nexus-windows-amd64.zip -DestinationPath .
.\nexus-windows-amd64\nexus.exe --version
Add that folder to your PATH to run nexus from anywhere.
Download checksums.txt next to your archive, then:
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt
On macOS use shasum -a 256 -c checksums.txt. On Windows, Get-FileHash prints the SHA-256 to compare.
NexusRun runs models through Ollama or llama.cpp. Not sure where to start? Your first local AI helper walks through installing a model and running it.
NexusRun Studio · the visual builder
Studio is a canvas for AI workflows. Add an agent, drag one of your own models onto it, connect it to the next step, and press Run. It writes the standard nexus-compose.yaml, so what you draw is what ships.
Studio finds the models already on your computer and marks the ones that fit in memory. Drag one onto an agent.
One click on Test this model asks it a short question and shows you how it answered and how long it took.
Press Run and follow every step live: what each agent was given, what it answered, and how fast.
Everything you draw is saved as nexus-compose.yaml in a folder you own. Open it in any editor, or in Studio.
Studio runs on your computer and listens only to it. Nothing about your work is sent anywhere.
Follows your system, or switch it from the toolbar. A short welcome shows once and never again if you ask.
A desktop app that opens in its own window. When you close the window it stops, and your workflows stay in ~/NexusRun.

sudo apt install ./NexusRun.Studio_0.1.3_amd64.deb
Then open NexusRun Studio from your applications menu. The package also installs the nexus command.
macOS: open the .dmg and drag NexusRun Studio to Applications. If macOS blocks the first launch, Control-click the app and choose Open.
Windows: run the -setup.exe installer. If SmartScreen appears, choose More info, then Run anyway.
Checksums for every file are in SHA256SUMS on the release page.
nexus studio --workspace ~/NexusRun
Studio is built into the nexus command and opens in your browser. Add --app for a window without browser tabs.
