Cheshi Homebrew Tap
September 14, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Install the Cheshi desktop app with Homebrew.
Requirements
- Apple Silicon Mac
- macOS Tahoe 26 or later for the initial preview build
- Homebrew
Install
brew install --cask cheshiai/tap/cheshi
Homebrew installs GitHub CLI (gh) and Codex CLI (codex) as dependencies.
Open Cheshi from Applications and follow the sign-in prompts. CodeGraph is
bundled and connected to your workspace automatically; no environment variables
or manual MCP registration are needed.
If Codex was installed through npm or another method, resolve any executable conflict before installing its Homebrew cask. Installation does not sign in to Codex or GitHub.
Update
Quit Cheshi before updating through Homebrew:
brew update
brew upgrade --cask --greedy cheshiai/tap/cheshi
Cheshi also supports in-app updates. --greedy includes auto-updating casks.
Uninstall
brew uninstall --cask cheshiai/tap/cheshi
Workspace data under ~/Library/Application Support/Cheshi/ is preserved.
