TNode Installer

One command to turn any VPS, Mac Mini, or Raspberry Pi into a private AI node accessible from the TNode iOS app.

Quick Install

curl -fsSL https://install.tbrain.app | bash

No flags required. The installer auto-detects your hardware and configures everything (LLM runtime, gateway, Cloudflare Tunnel, pairing, telemetry).

Requirements

Hardware	Minimum
RAM	1 GB (VPS) · 8 GB recommended for local LLM
Disk	5 GB free
OS	Ubuntu 22.04+ / Debian 12+ / macOS 13+ / Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm
Network	Outbound HTTPS to Cloudflare, Firebase, and your LLM provider

GPU is optional. If detected, the installer provisions a local model via Ollama; otherwise it falls back to a cloud provider over HTTPS.

Variants

# Default (auto-detect, Cloudflare Tunnel, no LAN exposure)
curl -fsSL https://install.tbrain.app | bash

# Bring your own OpenRouter key
curl -fsSL https://install.tbrain.app | bash -s -- --api openrouter --api-key sk-or-v1-...

# Local-network only (no tunnel; pair over Tailscale)
curl -fsSL https://install.tbrain.app | bash -s -- --no-tunnel --with-tailscale

Pass --help for the full flag list.

Pairing

At the end of the install a QR code is printed. Scan it with the TNode app to complete device pairing.
