Ficus Desktop includes its own database and runtime, so there’s no Docker or Node.js to install. Agents run as your macOS user.

Run the setup command

macOS · Linux · WSL 2
curl -fsSL https://ficus.sh/cli/setup.sh | bash

Paste into your terminal. Choose a runtime, review the setup plan, and open the local URL when it’s ready.

What you’ll need
  • Node.js 24 LTS (minimum 22.19), curl, and git.
  • Docker running for the default PostgreSQL database, including when agents run on the host.
  • A model-provider account. Connect your credentials in Ficus; provider usage is billed by your provider.
  • On macOS, an active desktop login. On Linux or WSL 2, a working systemd user session.

Setup installs the CLI and Bun if needed, builds Ficus, and starts its services. The first run can take several minutes. The runtime you choose determines what agents can access; host mode runs commands as your user.

Self-hosted on your machine. No Ficus Cloud subscription needed.

  1. Make it yours.

  2. Put an idea in motion.

    Start a conversation. Think something through, dig into a question, or give your squad a task.

  3. See it through.

    Follow along in the Feed. Questions land in Needs you, and finished work comes back for review.
