Installation

Download links come from the downloads page and require an active license. Each link is personal and expires after a few minutes — generate a fresh one rather than sharing an old URL.

macOS

1. Open the .dmg and drag AUTO/PILOT into /Applications.
2. Launch it. On first run macOS may warn about an app downloaded from the internet.
3. Grant the permissions the app asks for:
   • Input Monitoring — required for HID and keyboard bindings
   • Local Network — required for OSC, Art-Net and sACN
   • Bluetooth — only if you use a BLE MIDI controller

Verify the download before installing if you like:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/AUTOPILOT-1.0.0-mac.dmg

Compare the output against the SHA-256 shown next to the build.

Windows

1. Run the .exe installer and follow the prompts.
2. Allow the app through Windows Defender Firewall on private networks — this is what OSC and Art-Net need.
3. If your controller needs a vendor driver, install that first and confirm the device appears in Device Manager before mapping it.

Verify the download:

Get-FileHash .\AUTOPILOT-1.0.0-win.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Release channels

Channel	Who it is for
Stable	What you run at a gig. Fully tested.
Beta	Release candidates. Feature complete, still being hammered on.
Nightly	Built from main. Expect sharp edges; never run one live.

All three channels are included with any license pack. Switching channels is a download, not a purchase.

Uninstalling

Remove the application, then delete its data directory:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/AUTOPILOT
• Windows: %APPDATA%\AUTOPILOT

That data directory holds the cached offline license. Deleting it does not free your activation slot — do that from your dashboard or from inside the app before wiping the machine. See device activations.
