Getting Started with Nebo

Installation

macOS

The easiest way to install Nebo on macOS is with Homebrew:

brew install neboloop/tap/nebo

Or download the .dmg installer from getnebo.com/download.

Windows

Download Nebo-setup.exe from getnebo.com/download and run the installer.

Linux

Download the binary or .deb package from getnebo.com/download:

# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i nebo_*.deb

# Or run the binary directly
chmod +x nebo-linux-amd64
./nebo-linux-amd64

First Launch

When you first open Nebo, it starts in desktop mode with a native window. You can also run it headless (browser-based) or from the command line:

# Desktop mode (default)
nebo

# Headless mode
nebo --headless

# CLI chat
nebo chat "Hello, what can you do?"

Adding an AI Provider

Nebo needs an AI provider to work. Go to Settings > Providers and add your API key for any supported provider:

  • Anthropic (Claude)
  • OpenAI (GPT-4)
  • Google Gemini
  • Ollama (local, no API key needed)
  • DeepSeek

If you use Ollama, you can run Nebo entirely offline with no API key.

Your First Conversation

Just type naturally. Nebo can:

  • Answer questions
  • Read and write files
  • Execute shell commands
  • Search the web
  • Remember things across sessions

The more you use it, the more it learns about your preferences and workflow.
