Prebuilt, signed binaries for the Conifer CLI.
This repository hosts release artifacts only — no source lives here.
The binaries are proprietary; the EULA ships as LICENSE inside each archive.
curl -fsSL https://www.conifer.build/install-cli.sh | shThe script detects your platform, downloads the latest release from this
repository, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, installs conifer (and the
bundled llama-mtmd-cli) onto your PATH, then hands the terminal straight
to conifer setup. The same script is mirrored byte-identically in this
repository as install.sh (served at
coniferkit.github.io/CLI-release/install.sh) — read it before piping it
to a shell.
Download an archive and its .sha256 from the latest
Release, then:

tar xzf conifer-macos-arm64.tar.gz
./conifer --version| artifact | platform | what it is |
|---|---|---|
conifer-macos-arm64.tar.gz |
macOS (Apple Silicon) | the full product — embedded Conifer runtime, real local inference in-process |
conifer-linux-x86_64-thin.tar.gz |
Linux x86_64 | thin client — no embedded runtime; drives a Conifer host on your network (e.g. a Mac running conifer serve) |
conifer-windows-x86_64-thin.exe.zip |
Windows x86_64 | thin client — same as the Linux build |
Installed binaries check once a day and print a one-line notice when a newer
release exists. conifer update downloads the new build, verifies its
checksum, and swaps itself atomically.
