Install Helicon
Helicon installs from a Windows installer, Apple Silicon, Intel and universal macOS DMGs or an x86_64 Linux AppImage, all on the latest GitHub release, and all self updating. Every route needs the muse CLI installed and signed in with your own muse login, because Helicon drives Muse Code rather than replacing it.

Pick your platform. Every route needs one thing first: a muse CLI that answers muse --version and is signed in. No CLI yet? Start with Download Muse Code.
- WindowsA Windows installer for a Muse Code desktop app, with auto update. Runs Muse Code natively on Windows, or inside WSL2 with path translation both ways.
- macOSHelicon on Mac: a free desktop app for the Muse Code CLI, with a DMG for Apple Silicon, one for Intel and a universal one. Auto update and a one-time Open Anyway step.
- LinuxAn x86_64 AppImage that runs on most distributions and updates itself. Make it executable, run it, and point it at a muse CLI that is signed in.
- WSL2If your muse CLI lives in WSL2 Ubuntu, Helicon routes to it from the Windows desktop app and translates paths both ways, so the agent and the UI agree on where files are.
- VS Code and CursorA Muse Code side panel inside your editor: threads as tabs, readable approvals, the files each thread changed. Uses your own muse login. Free and open source.
