Start with the native macOS app, or run Tater through Unraid, Home Assistant, local Python, or Docker. After Tater is running, Little Spud can pair as its iPhone, iPad, or Android companion.
The macOS app is the quickest native path. The other options run the same TaterOS experience on a server or container you control.
Install the complete Tater server as a native Apple Silicon Mac app with a private runtime, menu bar controls, and automatic updates.
Best for: Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 15 or newer that want the simplest native Tater setup.
Install Tater and Redis Stack from Unraid Community Apps with persistent storage for Agent Lab and runtime config.
Best for: Unraid users who want the smoothest packaged deployment.
Install Tater through the dedicated Home Assistant add-on repository, with Redis Stack as the required companion service.
Best for: Home Assistant users who want Tater inside the supervisor/add-on workflow.
Clone Tater, run the setup script for the right runtime profile, then start TaterOS with the local launcher.
Best for: Developers and operators who want direct source control and local customization.
Run the published container image with persistent Agent Lab/.runtime volumes, then configure Redis + Hydra in WebUI.
Best for: Operators who want a direct container deployment outside packaged add-on/app-store flows.
