Not sure of your architecture? On a Mac, see the Chip line in About This Mac; on Windows, System type under Settings → System → About; on Linux, run uname -m.

First launch

The installers aren’t signed with a paid certificate, so each system asks once. Here is the way through:

macOS

Gatekeeper says the developer cannot be verified. Either of these lets it through:

  1. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, click Open Anyway, and confirm with your password.

  2. Or drop the quarantine flag in Terminal:

    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Lyra.app

If it says the app is damaged, that is a 0.6.0 or earlier build. Install the latest one.

Windows

The first run shows SmartScreen: “Windows protected your PC.”

  1. Click More info, then Run anyway.

  2. If Windows then cannot find Lyra.exe, Defender has quarantined it: allow it under Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Protection history, and run the installer again.

Linux

AppImage or .deb, not both.

  1. The AppImage needs no installing. Make it executable and run it:

    chmod +x Lyra-0.9.19-x86_64.AppImage && ./Lyra-0.9.19-x86_64.AppImage
  2. Install the .deb with apt:

    sudo apt install ./Lyra-0.9.19-amd64.deb
Phone

The phone app talks to Lyra on your computer. Sessions, models, and keys stay on the computer.

  1. Android: install the APK. The first time, the phone asks to allow unknown sources.

  2. iOS: the IPA is unsigned. Sign it with Sideloadly, AltStore, or Xcode, then install. A free Apple ID is enough.

  3. Then, on the desktop, turn on Settings → Mobile sync and scan the pairing code.

After installing

Lyra doesn’t ship a model. Open Settings → Models, add a provider (Base URL, API format, API key), then add at least one model.
