Option 1

One-click installers

Download the desktop installer, sign in, and BrainDrive handles the setup. Recommended for most teams who want a guided experience.

What you'll need from us:

  • • macOS installer URL (DMG or PKG)
  • • Windows installer URL (EXE or MSI)
  • • SHA256 checksum for each build
  • • Confirmed OS support matrix
  • • Optional: screenshots or quickstart video

Option 2

Command-line setup

Keep the familiar scripted workflow for automation or power users. We'll surface the curl, Homebrew, and PowerShell paths alongside prerequisites.

Still needed to finalize:

  • • Final CLI script URLs for each platform
  • • Notes on any environment variables or flags
  • • Link to CLI reference documentation
  • • Troubleshooting steps for common failures
