Direct PowerShell installer verified (Winget package in official review)

4. Where the agent is installed

The installer keeps the agent program files in a visible, easy-to-find folder, and keeps your private device keys separate in a hidden folder so secrets never end up in a cloud-synced Documents directory.

Agent files (macOS / Linux): ~/Documents/finetunemyai/agents

Agent files (Windows): %LOCALAPPDATA%\FineTuneMyAI\agent

CLI wrapper: ~/.local/bin/finetunemyai (Unix) • %LOCALAPPDATA%\FineTuneMyAI\bin\finetunemyai.cmd (Windows)

Keys & credentials: ~/.finetunemyai (+ OS keychain / Credential Manager)

Override the location with FINETUNEMYAI_INSTALL_DIR=/your/path before running the installer.

5. How to Uninstall

You can cleanly remove the FineTuneMyAI background service, CLI wrappers, and application files at any time with a single command.

macOS & Linux (One-Line Uninstaller):

curl -fsSL https://finetunemyai.com/uninstall.sh | bash

Via CLI (if installed):

finetunemyai uninstall

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://finetunemyai.com/uninstall.ps1 | iex

To also purge all local datasets, virtualenvs, and cached files, pass --purge to the command.
