Install the agent

Everything below installs from get.acutisgo.com. All builds are code-signed.

The agent runs observe-only and needs no special setup to work on a single machine. To connect it to a fleet dashboard, see enrollment.

Windows

Three ways to install — pick one.

Download and run the signed installer:

It installs the background service, the tray app, and the status window, and registers under Add/Remove Programs.

Open PowerShell and run:

irm https://get.acutisgo.com/install.ps1 | iex

The script downloads the MSI and installs it silently (it self-elevates for the system service).

Download Acutis-Go-Portable.exe and run it. Nothing is installed — handy for a one-time check on a machine you don't own.

SmartScreen on a brand-new release

A newly published signed build may briefly show a SmartScreen "not commonly downloaded" prompt until it earns reputation. Click More info → Run anyway. The signature is valid — you can confirm it in the file's Properties → Digital Signatures.

macOS

Universal build — Apple Silicon and Intel, code-signed and notarized.

curl -fsSL https://get.acutisgo.com/install-mac.sh | sudo bash

Installs the agent to /usr/local/bin/acutis-go, the Acutis Go app to /Applications, and a launchd background service.

curl -fsSL https://get.acutisgo.com/install-mac.sh | sudo ACUTIS_ENROLL=gojoin-XXXX bash

After install, open it from Applications → Acutis Go (or Spotlight: "Acutis Go").

Linux

systemd service, amd64 + arm64 (including Raspberry Pi).

curl -fsSL https://get.acutisgo.com/install.sh | sudo bash

curl -fsSL https://get.acutisgo.com/install.sh | sudo ACUTIS_ENROLL=gojoin-XXXX bash

The installer detects your architecture, installs the agent, and starts it under systemd (systemctl status acutis-go).

Verify it's running

Platform Check
Windows Tray icon present; Services → AcutisGo is Running
macOS launchctl list \| grep acutis
Linux systemctl status acutis-go

Then run a quick local readout from a terminal:

acutis-go -status

Next: Configuration.
