seri ships as one compiled binary per platform. There is no runtime to install alongside it.

​
macOS and Linux

Installs to ~/.local/bin. If that directory is not on your PATH, the script prints the line to add. It never edits your shell config for you.

​
Windows

Installs to ~\.seri\bin and adds that directory to your user PATH. No admin rights are required. Open a new terminal afterwards so the PATH change takes effect.

​
Without piping to a shell

If you would rather not run a script straight from the internet, download the binary for your platform from Releases, make it executable, and put it somewhere on your PATH. Both install scripts are short enough to read first, and both verify the download against the SHA256SUMS file published with each release.
That checksum catches a truncated or corrupted download. It does not catch a compromised release, because the sums are published alongside the binaries they describe.

​
Check it worked

After a first install, seri doctor reports the binary, profile, credentials and search tooling without opening a session. A missing credential is a fail; a missing daemon is not.

​
Refreshing an install

That replaces the compiled binary you ran. It talks to GitHub Releases for Seriora-Research/seri-agent, verifies SHA256SUMS, then smokes the new file before the swap. It refuses a source checkout. Pin a tag with SERI_VERSION=v0.1.0, the same pin the install scripts honor. If the installed version already matches the latest stable release, the command prints that it is current and leaves the file alone.

​
Uninstalling

Delete the binary from wherever the installer put it (~/.local/bin/seri, or %USERPROFILE%\.seri\bin\seri.exe on Windows). Your data outlives it, under ~/.seri/. Deleting ~/.seri/rg/ on its own is always safe. The next search writes it again, and a run that cannot write there falls back to a temporary copy.
On Windows the installer resolves its target from %USERPROFILE% while seri resolves your data directory from $HOME. If you have set HOME to something other than your user profile, the binary and your data live under two different .seri directories.
