What happens when you run it

1

Checks (and installs) Node.js

If Node.js 20+ isn't already on your machine, the script installs the latest LTS release for you — nothing to do manually, and no admin rights required (on Windows, it falls back to a per-user install if it can't get elevated permissions).
2

Installs Jivam globally via npm

npm install -g jivamai jiva-core — the Jivam CLI and the underlying agent engine, both pulled straight from the npm registry.
3

Sets up a native app and background service

This opens Jivam in your browser and shows you exactly where to click to turn it into a real app with its own icon — File → Add to Dock in Safari on macOS, or the install icon in Edge's address bar on Windows. No separate browser to install, and no permission prompts to click through. Either way, Jivam also registers itself as a background service — a macOS LaunchAgent, or on Windows a lightweight entry in your own Startup folder, no admin rights needed — so it's already running by the time you open it. No more waiting on a blank page.
4

Launch it

Click the Jivam icon in your Dock or Start Menu. Jivam opens in its own app window, served locally from your machine — nothing leaves your computer except your model API calls. It auto-updates in the background each time you open it.
