One-Click Installation

Setting up agentic coding environments can be a nightmare of missing runtimes and PATH issues. Blaze simplifies this with an intelligent detection and setup system.

Download & Install

1. Download the DMG: Get the latest release from the Blaze Website.
2. Move to Applications: Drag Blaze.app into your /Applications folder.
3. Grant Permissions: Blaze requires Full Disk Access to interact with your codebases and Accessibility permissions for global shortcuts.

Intelligent Dependency Detection

On your first launch, Blaze will scan your system for the necessary runtimes and CLI tools.

Automated Setup

If Blaze detects missing dependencies, it offers a one-click installation flow:

• Homebrew: Automatically detects or installs Homebrew.
• Node.js & Python: Ensures the correct runtimes are available for Claude Code and Aider.
• PATH Configuration: Blaze can automatically update your .zshrc or .bash_profile to ensure CLIs are globally accessible.

Manual Verification

If you prefer to verify manually, ensure the following commands are available in your terminal:

node --version # Should be 18+
python3 --version # Should be 3.10+
brew --version
