What You Need

AI Engine Required: Operum's agents each run as a Claude Code session, so you currently need your own Claude plan from Anthropic — Max for individuals ($100+/mo), or Team or Enterprise for companies. An Anthropic API key works too, but it's billed per use and can cost far more than a subscription for a full agent team. You bring your own subscription (or key) — Operum orchestrates it, we don't resell or proxy Claude access. Without an active plan or key, agents appear in the app but can't execute tasks.
Claude plan requirement

Why is this required?

Operum's agents (PM, Architect, Engineer, Tester, Marketing, Community) are built on top of Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic coding tool. Each agent runs as a Claude Code session, which means you need your own Claude plan from Anthropic — Max for individuals, or Team or Enterprise for companies — to give the agents the model access and usage budget they need to actually do work.

Without an active plan (or an API key), your agents will appear in the app but won't be able to execute tasks — they'll fail to launch or hit rate limits immediately.

How do I get one?

Subscribe to Claude Max, Team, or Enterprise directly from Anthropic — Max is built for individuals and starts at $100/month; Team and Enterprise are priced for companies. Once you've subscribed, sign in to Claude from Operum when you set up your team. Operum never sees your password.

Prefer to pay as you go? Operum also accepts an Anthropic API key, but it's billed per use and can cost significantly more than a subscription for a full agent team — we recommend a plan for most teams.

We don't resell or proxy Claude access — you bring your own Anthropic subscription (or API key) and Operum orchestrates it.

Claude is what Operum runs on today. If that changes, we'll note it here first.

AppImage (recommended, any distro): make it executable and run it. It updates itself.

chmod +x Operum_*_amd64.AppImage
./Operum_*_amd64.AppImage

First launch without a terminal: right-click the file → Properties → turn on Allow executing file as program, then double-click it.

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo dpkg -i Operum_*_amd64.deb

Fedora/RHEL:

sudo rpm -i Operum-*-1.x86_64.rpm

Arch Linux: use the AppImage. There is no native pacman package yet.

The .deb and .rpm packages do not update themselves. To get a new version, download the latest package from the download page and install it the same way.

Auto-Updates

Operum includes automatic updates. When a new version is available, you'll see a notification in the app. Click to download and install the update. Updates are cryptographically signed to ensure authenticity.

On Linux this applies to the AppImage. The .deb and .rpm packages are updated by downloading and installing the new version.
