Download and install the run:ai CLI:
+1. Go to the [EPFL Run:ai website](https://rcpepfl.run.ai/).
+
+2. Click the `?` icon in the top-right corner.
+
+
+
+3. Select your operating system.
+
+
+
+4. Copy and run the installation command shown there, replacing the authorization header with your own token. For example on macOS:
+
+ ```bash
+ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://rcpepfl.run.ai/api/v1/cli-exposer/installer/mac \
+ -H '')"
+ ```
+
+5. Accept the prompts during installation.
+
+6. Reload your shell configuration:
+
+ ```bash
+ source ~/.zshrc
+ # or, if you use bash:
+ source ~/.bashrc
+ ```
+
+#### If `runai` is still not found
+
+Sometimes the installer does not add the binary location to your `PATH` correctly.
+
+During installation, look for a line like:
+
```bash
-# macOS with Apple Silicon
-wget --content-disposition https://rcp-caas-prod.rcp.epfl.ch/cli/darwin
+## Installing...
+ ▸ Preparing directory (/Users//.runai/bin/2.116.2)
+ ▸ Downloading binary (https://rcpepfl.run.ai/api/v1/cli-exposer/dist/darwin/arm64/runai)
+ ▸ Linking executable (/Users//.runai/bin/runai)
+```
-# Linux (replace 'darwin' with 'linux')
-# wget --content-disposition https://rcp-caas-prod.rcp.epfl.ch/cli/linux
+The important part is the parent directory of the linked executable, for example:
-# Install
-chmod +x ./runai
-sudo mv ./runai /usr/local/bin/runai
-sudo chown root: /usr/local/bin/runai
+```text
+/Users//.runai/bin
+```
+
+Add that directory to your shell config file:
+
+```bash
+echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/Users//.runai/bin"' >> ~/.zshrc
+# or ~/.bashrc if you use bash
+```
+
+Then reload your shell again:
+
+```bash
+source ~/.zshrc
+# or
+source ~/.bashrc
```
