Getting Started with BrowserMesh Platform
Welcome to the BrowserMesh documentation. Learn how to install the native desktop/mobile apps or headless node script and connect to the Web Console.
BrowserMesh is a decentralized web automation and stealth scraping ecosystem. It allows you to run headless browsers directly on your own devices (Linux, Windows, or Android) while controlling all scraping jobs, marketplace plugins, and extracted data centrally from the Web Console.
1. Access the Web Console
All platform management and telemetry are handled through our centralized dashboard:
- Web Console Link: https://studio-browsermesh-beta.vercel.app
- Log in or create an account to view active devices, execute marketplace plugins, and monitor job queues.
2. Platform Installation Methods
BrowserMesh supports both Desktop & Mobile Applications (GUI) and Headless Node Scripts (CLI/Server).
Option A: Desktop & Mobile Applications (GUI Apps)
If you prefer graphical user interfaces, download the dedicated native app for your device:
- Windows Desktop App: Install our native Windows installer. Read the Windows Installation Guide.

.debpackage or AppImage (chmod +x BrowserMesh-linux.AppImage). Read the Linux Installation Guide. - Android Mobile App: Download the
BrowserMesh-v1.0.apkfor mobile IP proxy scraping (Android 10+). Read the Android Installation Guide.
Option B: Headless Terminal Node Scripts (CLI / Server Setup)

Linux & macOS (Bash / Terminal)
Open your terminal and execute:
curl -sSL https://browsermesh-one.vercel.app/scripts/install-headless.sh | bash
Alternative using wget:
wget -qO- https://browsermesh-one.vercel.app/scripts/install-headless.sh | bash
Windows Headless Setup (PowerShell / CMD / Double-Click)
Option 1: One-Line PowerShell Command
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iwr -useb https://browsermesh-one.vercel.app/scripts/install-headless.ps1 | iex"
Option 2: One-Line CMD Command
curl -sL https://browsermesh-one.vercel.app/scripts/install-headless.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd
Option 3: Double-Click Installer File
- Download
install-headless.cmddirectly to your computer. - Double-click
install-headless.cmdin Windows File Explorer to launch the automated setup window.
3. Managing Your Node
Once installed (via GUI app or Headless CLI script), your node automatically connects to the BrowserMesh Cloud network:
Automated Cloud Registration
- The installer automatically configures your background daemon to communicate with the BrowserMesh Cloud network.
- Log in with your BrowserMesh account on the Web Console.
- Your machine will immediately appear under the Active Devices tab on studio-browsermesh.vercel.app.
CLI Management Commands (Headless Nodes)
mesh status: Check memory, CPU, and connection status of the daemon.mesh logs: View live scraping activity logs.mesh restart: Reboot the background scraping node.mesh stop: Pause the node daemon.mesh start: Resume the node daemon.
