CONNECT PARETO

RECOMMENDED: ONE TERMINAL COMMAND

1. Download "pareto-connect.zip".
2. Open Terminal from Spotlight.
3. Paste this entire line and press Return:

  ZIP="$(find "$HOME/Downloads" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'pareto-connect*.zip' -exec stat -f '%m|%N' {} + | sort -rn | head -1 | cut -d'|' -f2-)" ; if [ -z "$ZIP" ]; then echo "Pareto Connect ZIP was not found in Downloads."; else ditto -x -k "$ZIP" "$HOME/Downloads" && bash "$HOME/Downloads/Pareto Connect/Install Pareto.sh"; fi

4. Paste the Pareto API key into the private pop-up.

The installer handles filenames such as "pareto-connect (1).zip". It installs
its own runtime, stores the key in macOS Keychain, and verifies real text and
tool use.

OPTIONAL: LOCAL AGENT

Codex Desktop may run the installer only when it is attached to a local Mac
workspace. The included "AGENT-INSTALL-PROMPT.txt" contains the exact
instruction to give it.

If the agent says "cloud container", asks for a repository, or cannot access
the local Downloads folder, stop and use the Terminal command above.

AFTER INSTALL

  Pareto:       ~/.local/bin/pareto
  Connection:   ~/.local/bin/pareto doctor
  ATXP Luna:    ~/.local/bin/pareto atxp
  ATXP Terra:   ~/.local/bin/pareto atxp terra
  ATXP Sol:     ~/.local/bin/pareto atxp sol

ATXP is optional. It is added automatically only when this Mac already has an
ATXP connection string in the environment or macOS Keychain. Pareto remains
the default.

WHY NOT DOUBLE-CLICK?

macOS blocks unsigned downloaded command files. "Install Pareto.sh" avoids
that Gatekeeper dead end when Terminal runs it with bash. Do not double-click
the installer. A true external one-click install requires a signed and
notarized Mac app.

HOSTED INSTALLER

For the current public API endpoint and install-without-a-key support, use the
hosted installer instead. The ZIP retains its older key-required setup flow
and legacy endpoint; its Pareto estimate rates match the hosted installer.

The hosted command is:

  curl -fsSL https://unbiased.ai/install/pareto -o /tmp/install-pareto.sh && bash /tmp/install-pareto.sh

Cache-write pricing is unpublished; this client's required zero placeholder
excludes cache-write charges from its estimate. Actual billing may differ.
