# Standalone

> Helix as its own coding agent, in a single binary. Install with one command — no Node, no npm, no checkout.

The **Standalone** form is a single binary with the whole system inside — it *is* a coding agent.
Nothing else to install. It's proprietary, and it runs on macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel) and Linux
(arm64 or x64).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a flavour — it decides your command name">
    Two binaries. Whichever you choose is the command you run for every step below.

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Pi (lean)">
        ```bash theme={null}
        curl -fsSL https://install.mutagent.io/helix | bash
        ```

        Gives you the `mutagent-helix` command.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Oh My Pi (+ built-in tools)">
        ```bash theme={null}
        curl -fsSL https://install.mutagent.io/helix-omp | bash
        ```

        Gives you the `mutagent-helix-omp` command.
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    <Tip>
      Don't pipe a script you haven't read straight into a shell. Download it first, look at it,
      then run it:

      ```bash theme={null}
      curl -fsSL https://install.mutagent.io/helix -o helix.sh   # read it, then:
      bash helix.sh
      ```

      Opt out of the PATH edit with `--no-modify-path` and add `~/.mutagent/bin` yourself.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reload your shell">
    The installer places the binary in `~/.mutagent/bin` and adds that to your shell's startup file
    (it prints which one). Reload it, or just open a new terminal.

    ```bash theme={null}
    source <the file the installer printed>
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    `--strict` is the real check. (The installer already runs a branded verify for you.)

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Pi (lean)">
        ```bash theme={null}
        mutagent-helix doctor --strict
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Oh My Pi (+ built-in tools)">
        ```bash theme={null}
        mutagent-helix-omp doctor --strict
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch">
    Helix launches straight into its dashboard.

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Pi (lean)">
        ```bash theme={null}
        mutagent-helix
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Oh My Pi (+ built-in tools)">
        ```bash theme={null}
        mutagent-helix-omp
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Update

Re-run the same installer command. It replaces the binary after verifying its checksum.

## Remove it

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Pi (lean)">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -fsSL https://install.mutagent.io/helix | bash -s -- uninstall
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Oh My Pi (+ built-in tools)">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -fsSL https://install.mutagent.io/helix-omp | bash -s -- uninstall
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Add `--purge` to also drop the cached runtime.
