To successfully install and run Cua on macOS, the following system requirements need to be met:
- hardware requirement: Must use Mac devices with Apple Silicon chips (M1/M2/M3/M4), Intel processors not supported
- operating system: Requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or higher
- Python environment: To use the full AI agent functionality, Python 3.10 or higher is required
- storage space: at least 40GB of free disk space is recommended, as virtual machine images (e.g. macOS) typically take up 20-30GB
- network connection: The installation process requires a stable internet connection to download the necessary components and images
It is worth noting that the Python environment can be left uninstalled if only the basic VM management functionality (Lume CLI) is required; however, the Python environment must be configured if the full functionality of the AI agent is to be used.
