Open the OMEGA Dashboard on macOS

Three steps. About 1 minute.

1. Quit Claude Desktop

Cmd-Q out of Claude Desktop. (OMEGA reads the same memory file Claude uses; closing Claude releases the lock.)

2. Install the wheel

Open Terminal (press Cmd-Space, type "Terminal", hit Return). Paste this line, hit Return:

pip3 install --user --break-system-packages --upgrade ~/Downloads/omega_platform-1.5.4-py3-none-any.whl

(Replace ~/Downloads/... if the file is somewhere else.)

You'll see a list of packages being installed. When it finishes, the prompt comes back.

Why those flags: newer macOS Python (3.11+, Homebrew, or Apple's bundled) ships with a guard that refuses pip3 install by default. --user keeps the install in your own home folder. --break-system-packages is the override that tells Python "I know what I'm doing." For a one-off install like this, it's safe.

3. Open the dashboard

In the same Terminal window, paste:

python3 -m omega dashboard

Your browser opens to localhost with your OMEGA Admin dashboard. Click Memory in the left sidebar. You should see every memory you've ever created with OMEGA.

To stop the dashboard later, come back to this Terminal window and press Ctrl-C.

Troubleshooting

error: externally-managed-environment — you missed the --break-system-packages flag. Re-paste the install command exactly as shown in Step 2.

command not found: pip3 — Python is not on your PATH. Install it via brew install python (requires Homebrew), or download from python.org and re-run Step 2.

No module named omega — Step 2 reported an error you missed. Scroll up in Terminal, look for red text, and try Step 2 again.

Browser opens to a login page — close the tab, press Ctrl-C in Terminal, then run python3 -m omega dashboard again. The handoff token is one-use and short-lived.

Memory page is empty — open Claude Desktop, ask it to remember one thing, quit Claude, come back to the dashboard and refresh.
