Mibyan Desktop is built on an open-source agent core. This reference is adapted from that project’s documentation. A few pages describe options of the underlying core that your Mibyan account or build may not expose, and pages that mention installers, package names, or container images describe the open-source project. For the supported Mibyan install and update path, use Install and update.
