| Platform | Artifact | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows x64 | Hyperia-{version}-x64.exe | NSIS installer, signed via Azure Trusted Signing |
| macOS x64 | Hyperia-{version}-mac-x64.dmg | Intel, notarized |
| macOS arm64 | Hyperia-{version}-mac-arm64.dmg | Apple Silicon, notarized |
| Linux | .deb / .AppImage / .rpm | Debian, universal, Red Hat |
| Arch Linux | .pacman | pacman package |
Windows
Run the .exe installer. Per-user install by default — no admin rights required. Hyperia will appear in your Start menu and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Hyperia.
The installer includes the Rust sidecar binary (hyperia-sidecar.exe) and the CLI wrapper. Both are added to your PATH at install time.
macOS
Open the .dmg, drag Hyperia.app to Applications, and launch. macOS will verify the notarization on first open.
If Gatekeeper prompts you despite notarization, right-click the app and choose Open once to approve it.
The Rust sidecar is bundled inside Hyperia.app/Contents/Resources/sidecar/hyperia-sidecar. It starts and stops automatically with the app — you don't need to manage it manually.
Linux
Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i hyperia-{version}-amd64.deb
AppImage (universal)
chmod +x Hyperia-{version}.AppImage
./Hyperia-{version}.AppImage
RPM (Fedora / RHEL)
sudo rpm -i hyperia-{version}.x86_64.rpm
First launch
On first launch Hyperia opens a terminal tab using your system's default shell. The Rust sidecar starts in the background on port 9800.
The toolbar appears at the top center of the window. Hover over it to reveal buttons for new tabs, windows, sticky notes, and web panes.
Agent setup
Open Settings from the hamburger menu or press the settings shortcut. The Settings window lets you configure the AI agent model and token.
Using Ollama (no token required)
If you have Ollama installed locally, Hyperia works out of the box with no API key. Select a local model from the dropdown:
ollama pull gemma4 # fast, default
ollama pull gemma4:31b # larger, slower
Select Gemma4 e2b — local, fast (default) from the model list and click Enable. No token is needed.
Using Anthropic Claude
Select a Claude model and enter your Anthropic API key. The key is stored in ~/.hyperia/hyperia.json and never transmitted anywhere except the Anthropic API.
Config file
Hyperia stores all configuration in a single JSON file:
~/.hyperia/hyperia.json # macOS / Linux
%USERPROFILE%\.hyperia\hyperia.json # Windows
You can edit this directly or use the Edit Config button in Settings, which opens it in your system editor. A factory reset (Settings → Factory Reset) reverts to defaults while preserving your agent token.
Hyperia watches the config file for changes. Most settings take effect immediately without a restart — shell profiles and sidecar port require a restart.
