On a Mac, it's three steps

A couple of minutes from download to your first build. No account to create first, no terminal to live in afterwards.

  1. 01

    Download the app

    One file for every Mac. Open the .dmg and drag Ship Studio into your Applications folder.

  2. 02

    Open it

    Launch Ship Studio from Applications. It checks for updates itself from here on, so this is the last download you'll do by hand.

  3. 03

    Connect your tools

    Ship Studio walks you through connecting your agent, GitHub and your hosting provider. Then you're building.

Stuck? 800+ builders have been there.

The Ship Studio Slack is where install questions get answered in minutes, usually by someone who hit the same thing last week. Paste your error, get unstuck.

Installation questions

There's only one. The .dmg is universal, so it runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1–M5) and Intel Macs alike. Download it, open it, drag Ship Studio into Applications, and launch it from there.

Open the “Download not working?” link under the download button and use the terminal command instead. It fetches the same app straight from GitHub, detects your chip, and launches it. If macOS blocks the app from opening, the command route usually gets past that too.

Windows support is still in early access, and the command lets us ship fixes quickly while we finish the one-click installer. It does exactly what an installer would: download the latest build, install it, and open the app. A regular .exe is coming soon - we'll announce it in Slack.

Yes. The command downloads the Ship Studio installer and runs it - nothing is hidden. You can open the script in your browser and read it before running, and the source is public on GitHub. If anything looks off, ask in the Slack first.

macOS on both Apple Silicon (M1–M5) and Intel, plus Windows 10 or later (64-bit). Windows is still in early access, so expect a few rough edges - tell us in Slack if you hit one.

No. On a Mac there's no terminal at all. On Windows the command is the only terminal step. After that Ship Studio is a normal app - you describe what you want in plain English and it builds it.

Just a few minutes. Ship Studio walks you through connecting your AI coding agent (from around $20/mo), a free GitHub account to store your code, and your hosting provider to put sites online. You can set those up as you go.

Copy the error message and drop it in the Slack - someone has almost certainly seen it before. The community is the fastest way to get unstuck, and it's how we catch install bugs early.
