Install Sauce. Public download + setup paths for the Sauce Framework by Sauce Technologies. Edge users · enterprise managed-cloud environments. Six operating systems. The full Sauce agent suite.
Sauce Technologies is an operating-systems partner for businesses whose growth is being throttled by invisible cost, fragmented knowledge, repeated work, and owner dependency. Sauce ships as a governed, canonical, multi-layer system — not as an AI vendor selling novelty. OpenSauce is the public install surface; the rest of the stack stays inside the framework boundary.
Compliance posture, day one: SOC 2 Type II · ISO 27001 / 27017 / 27018 / 27701 · GDPR · NIST 800-53 Mod. Conditional on declared data class: HIPAA · PCI DSS 4.0 · CCPA / CPRA · SOX. Crypto baseline: TLS 1.3, AES-256-GCM via KMS, ECDSA P-256 / Ed25519, Argon2id, Tink primitives — no custom crypto.

You install the edge layer from this repo. Enterprises request a managed cloud environment — you don't stand up the control plane yourself; Sauce Technologies does.
Sauce is organized as a 12-layer vertical stack (canonical model in the framework repo's docs/architecture/layer-stack.md). OpenSauce ships only L11 (delivery / packaging) and L12 (user surfaces). The deeper layers — storage, semantics, model runtime, agent contracts, mesh control, governance — live behind the binary boundary in the framework repo.
| What you want | Layers you touch | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| "I just want to use it." | L11 + L12 | docs/user-install.md |
| "I want to extend it (skills, plugins, MCP)." | + L8 (Agency) | SDK crates: sauce-skill-sdk, sauce-plugin-sdk, sauce-mcp-sdk (framework repo) |
| "I run this for an org." | + L9 (Control), L10 (Governance) | docs/enterprise-install.md |
| "I want to understand the whole thing." | L1 → L12 | Framework repo docs/architecture/layer-stack.md |
The four-tier control-plane diagram above is deployment topology. The 12 layers are what kind of concern lives where. They are orthogonal axes — see the framework repo's docs/architecture/README.md § "The five axes of Sauce."
Install the user-facing Sauce binaries — the full agent suite at L11+L12 — on your laptop / dev box / personal Linux server. No sudo by default. 👉 docs/user-install.md
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Diatonic-AI/opensauce/main/install/install.sh | shdocs/user-install.md § Data sharing and telemetry for what's sent and how to opt out per category.
Your organization gets a SOC2/ISO27001-compliant cloud environment provisioned + managed by Sauce Technologies. Your business workspaces run local-first and scale to the cloud env when usage justifies. 👉 docs/enterprise-install.md
