Oxagen app

The Oxagen app puts one machine under Oxagen control. It bundles the oxagen and tacho commands, and enrollment runs through them.

Download

Every version, with a SHA-256 for each file, is listed at downloads.oxagen.sh. To check a download, put that version's SHA256SUMS.txt beside the file and run:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

First launch on macOS

Builds are not yet notarized, so macOS refuses the first launch and offers Move to Trash. Choose Done or Cancel instead.

1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security. On macOS 12 it is System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
2. Scroll to the message about Oxagen and click Open Anyway.
3. Confirm with Open and your login password.

The Open Anyway button shows for about an hour after the refused launch. macOS 15 removed the older Control-click and Open route, so that route no longer works.

If you already have a terminal open, clearing the quarantine flag does the same thing:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Oxagen.app

Then open Oxagen as usual. Either way, macOS asks only once.

First launch on Windows

Builds are not yet signed, so SmartScreen warns that the publisher is unknown. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

Linux

The packages are unsigned and no apt or dnf repository exists yet. Install the file you downloaded directly:

sudo dpkg -i Oxagen_amd64.deb
sudo rpm -i Oxagen.x86_64.rpm
chmod +x Oxagen_amd64.AppImage && ./Oxagen_amd64.AppImage

Command line

The app links oxagen and tacho into ~/.local/bin on macOS and Linux. On Windows it writes .cmd shims to a directory on your user PATH. It never asks for administrator rights, and it never replaces a file it did not write.

Open a new terminal after the first launch. On macOS and Linux, this prints both paths:

command -v oxagen tacho

Next step

Set up your Oxagen account and enroll this machine.
