- The Linux instructions name an Ubuntu/Debian .deb package; setup asks for an administrator password, and the builds are unsigned.
Field notes
The page lays out four steps, from writing a trigger to routing a match, and gives examples involving Slack promises and GitHub pull requests. It offers a .dmg for Apple silicon, a Windows x64 installer, and an Ubuntu/Debian .deb; the site says these early builds are unsigned. Its setup instructions also say Ambient adds a certificate and captures network traffic on the device, with operating-system confirmation required.
