Install stock openpilot with the default installer, custom stable URL, nightly, or a specific branch.

Prerequisite

Install options

Option 1 (easiest)

Option 2 (custom URL, stable)

Choose Custom Software and enter openpilot.comma.ai.

Option 3 (nightly/beta)

Choose Custom Software and enter installer.comma.ai/commaai/master. This branch is less stable.
