Remote VM Setup

To set up a VM or remote machine as a Pane daemon host, use the remote installer instead:

curl -fsSL https://runpane.com/install-remote.sh | sh

Prefer Settings > Remote Pane for the guided Tailscale flow. These commands are useful for VM and server setup.

It prints one pane-remote://... code to import in local Pane. See Remote VM Setup for the full flow.

Nightly Builds

Nightly builds ship the latest changes before they reach the stable channel. Use them to test upcoming features or verify bug fixes. Not recommended for daily driver setups.

Nightly builds may contain breaking changes and are not recommended for production use.

curl -fsSL https://runpane.com/install-remote.sh | sh -s -- --channel nightly

Switch between stable and nightly channels in Settings > Updates > Channel.

Open Settings → Updates → Channel and select Nightly or Stable. Pane will check for updates from the selected channel on the next update check. Switching from nightly back to stable may require a manual reinstall if the nightly version is ahead of stable.

Direct Download

Download a binary directly from GitHub Releases .

macOS — universal .dmg (Apple Silicon + Intel)
Windows — x64 and ARM64 .exe installers
Linux — x64 and ARM64 .AppImage and .deb packages

If macOS blocks the app on first launch, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway next to the Pane entry. This is a one-time step for apps distributed outside the App Store.

If Windows Defender SmartScreen shows a warning, click More info, then Run anyway. The installer is not code-signed for every release yet; this will be resolved in a future release.

Clone the repository from github.com/dcouple/Pane , then:


pnpm run setup
pnpm run electron-dev

Node.js 22 and pnpm are required.
