Install Matemium
Matemium is a desktop application with a bundled local rendering engine. The public installer experience is currently in early access.
Install the desktop application
Section titled “Install the desktop application”- Open the Matemium download page.
- Select an available build for your operating system.
- Sign in if the early-access download requires an account.
- Install the application using your platform’s normal installer flow.
- Start Matemium and allow the first-run assets to finish preparing.
The first launch can take longer than later launches because Matemium may prepare the bundled engine, TinyTeX, and optional intelligence assets.
Linux requirements
Section titled “Linux requirements”- Ubuntu 22.04 or newer on x86_64
- FFmpeg available to the application
- Enough free disk space for the engine, TinyTeX, render caches, and project output
If a .deb reports an unresolved FFmpeg dependency:
sudo apt -f installConnect optional AI
Section titled “Connect optional AI”Matemium can render without a cloud AI provider. To use external chat or agent workflows:
- Open Settings.
- Choose an OpenAI-compatible provider.
- Connect your account or add your own provider key.
- Select a model for the current workflow.
Provider billing and limits belong to the provider you select. Matemium does not resell model access.
