# Installation

Mochi is a single `mochi` binary plus the desktop app. It is in early access: the
installer goes out to people on the early-access list first, and the install steps
come with your invite.

::: tip Get early access
[Join the early-access list](https://tally.so/r/44B62B) and you'll get the installer and
a license key when your spot opens.

Until then, the rest of these docs show what Mochi does and how it works, so you can
read ahead.

## Already using flow?

You won't need to uninstall it. Mochi reads the same workspaces, flow files, vaults, and
history as `flow`, so both binaries see the same data. Every `flow` command also works as
`mochi`.

If you want the open-source engine on its own, flow installs separately and doesn't need
a license.
