​
Download and install

  1. Open rumus.ai/download and pick the Apple Silicon or Intel build that matches your Mac.
  2. Open the downloaded archive and drag Rumus into your Applications folder.
  3. Authorize the app the first time you launch it.

​
Authorize the app

macOS quarantines apps downloaded outside the App Store. You have two ways to allow Rumus to run:Option 1 — Run the xattr command (recommended). Open Terminal and paste:
xattr -cr /Applications/Rumus.app
This clears the quarantine attribute on the app bundle. You’ll need to run it again after every update.Option 2 — Allow through System Settings. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section, and click Open Anyway next to the message about Rumus.
System Settings doesn’t always surface the Rumus prompt — especially if you closed the initial dialog. If you can’t find it, just run the xattr command above.

​
Auto-update

Rumus checks for new releases on launch. How updates are applied depends on your platform:
  • macOS and Windows — when an update is available, Rumus offers to download and install it automatically. You’ll see a dialog with options like Download & Install, View Changelog, or Visit Download Page.
    On macOS, remember to run xattr -cr /Applications/Rumus.app again after each update.
  • Linux — auto-install is not supported. Rumus notifies you when a new version is out, and you upgrade by re-running the install script: 
    curl -f https://www.rumus.ai/install.sh | sh
    Or by downloading the latest package from rumus.ai/download and installing it through your package manager.

​
Uninstall

Drag Applications/Rumus to the Trash. To wipe local data as well:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/ai.rumus.terminal
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/ai.rumus.terminal
Before uninstalling, back up your vault secret key if you’ve enabled vault sync. Without the key, encrypted data in the cloud cannot be recovered. See Account & Sync for details.
