Installation / Requirements#

Supported alpha target#

Sero currently supports:

• macOS on Apple Silicon
• Node.js 22
• pnpm 10

For the canonical current support contract and exact validated baseline, see Support Scope.

Recommended runtime requirement#

For the full intended experience, install Apple's container CLI and make sure it is available at:

/usr/local/bin/container

Containers are strongly recommended, but they are not a hard requirement for trying Sero.

Install dependencies#

From the repo root:

pnpm install

The install flow runs native-module repair hooks for node-pty and better-sqlite3.

Optional runtime verification#

/usr/local/bin/container --help
/usr/local/bin/container system status

If containers are unavailable, Sero can continue in host mode with reduced capabilities.
