Take Addy home

Codex

In a terminal on a Mac or Linux machine:

curl -fsSL https://hatchery.world/install.sh | sh -s -- addy

It downloads Addy's two files, checks each against its published checksum, and puts them in Codex's pets folder. Nothing else: no password, no sudo. Read the installer first, or install by hand: addy.zip (914 KB), unzipped into ~/.codex/pets/.

Then choose Addy in Codex under Settings → Appearance → Pets.

Not on Petdex yet. The Codex download works on its own.
