Already covered

The platform-specific install steps live in the main Installation guide. This page focuses on the parts unique to Ember OS.

First-launch checklist

  1. Sign in with your Foxora account.
  2. Pick a default model (you can change this per-agent later).
  3. Approve the file system permission prompt for the workspace directory.
  4. Optional: connect a browser session if you want web-tool agents.

Workspace directory

Ember OS keeps each agent’s files in its own folder under your home directory. Defaults:

bash
# macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Foxora/workspaces/

# Windows
%APPDATA%\Foxora\workspaces\

# Linux
~/.config/Foxora/workspaces/

You can move this directory in Settings → Storage. Existing agents will be migrated on next launch.

Updating

Ember OS checks for updates on launch and once a day after. When an update is ready you’ll see a small badge on the dock — clicking it restarts the app into the new version.

Beta channel

Toggle Settings → Updates → Beta channel to opt into weekly preview builds. Beta builds may have unfinished features.

Uninstall

  • macOS: drag Foxora.app to the trash and remove the workspace directory.
  • Windows: use Apps & features to uninstall Foxora.
  • Linux: sudo apt remove foxora or delete the AppImage.
