Installation
curio runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. You need a system administrator account on the workspace you connect to.
As a .NET global tool
With the .NET 10 SDK installed:
dotnet tool install --global Curiosity.Shell
The command is curio. To update later:
dotnet tool update --global Curiosity.Shell
If the shell cannot find curio after installing, the .NET tools folder (~/.dotnet/tools, or %USERPROFILE%\.dotnet\tools on Windows) is not on your PATH.
As a single file
Every release also publishes self-contained binaries that need no .NET SDK:
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| Windows x64 | curio-win-x64.exe |
| Linux x64 | curio-linux-x64 |
| macOS Apple silicon | curio-osx-arm64 |
| macOS Intel | curio-osx-x64 |
On Linux and macOS, the file loses its executable bit on download. Restore it before running:
chmod +x curio-linux-x64
./curio-linux-x64
First run
curio
The first run asks for the workspace address, opens your browser to sign in, and then opens the two-panel interface on a new session. Signing in explains the sign-in and the approval choice it asks about.
