How to Update OpenHuman — Auto-Update, Manual Upgrade, and Source Build

Keep OpenHuman up to date to get the latest features, bug fixes, and security patches.

Auto-update

On macOS, the app auto-updates via the built-in update mechanism. You can check for updates manually in Settings → About → Check for Updates.

Homebrew (macOS)

brew update brew upgrade openhuman

apt (Linux Debian/Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade openhuman

One-liner script

Re-run the install script — it detects the existing installation and upgrades in place:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Windows MSI

Download the latest MSI from tinyhumans.ai/openhuman or GitHub Releases and reinstall. Your data and config are preserved.

Source build

If you built from source, pull the latest code and rebuild:

cd openhuman
git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive
pnpm install
pnpm build
