Linux x64 installation

Install OpenMindAI on Linux.

OpenMindAI provides a Linux shell bootstrap and exercises the Linux/Tauri dependency path in CI. Real-world distributions, desktop environments and GPU stacks vary, so the Linux path is designed to be explicit and diagnosable.

BEFORE YOU START

Confirm the device requirements.

Local AI performance depends on memory, compute, storage, model size and backend support. These requirements are based on the current project documentation.

Modern 64-bit Linux distribution

16 GB RAM recommended

SSD storage recommended for model and runtime files

Required WebKitGTK/AppIndicator desktop dependencies for the Tauri environment

Distribution-specific package manager and GPU/runtime differences may require additional validation

OFFICIAL PACKAGE

Download and verify the release.

Use the official OpenMindAI release package rather than a third-party mirror. Published checksums should be used when available.

START SETUP

Make the shell bootstrap executable.

Download the official shell bootstrap, grant execute permission, then launch it from the terminal. The exact command saved with the current release is shown below when available.

Linux setup command0 copies

chmod +x openmindai-setup.sh
./openmindai-setup.sh

FIRST RUN

Choose storage, detect hardware and prepare the model.

The first-run flow is intentionally local-first and separates the desktop application from the AI data root.

1Choose the AI storage rootUse a local drive, secondary drive or suitable external SSD with enough free space.

2Create the local profileOpenMindAI stores the local application state and workspace configuration on storage you control.

3Hardware detectionThe application inspects available hardware before choosing a compatible local inference path.

4Prepare runtime and modelInstall/select a supported model and allow required runtime/model downloads to complete.

5Verify and open the workspaceThe model is verified before it is treated as ready; future launches can open directly into the local workspace.

AFTER SETUP

Know what works offline and what still needs a network.

Designed to work offline

Local AI inference, conversation history, local settings, installed model/runtime management, project data already on the machine, diagnostics and local backup workflows.

Requires network access

Initial source/bootstrap downloads, runtime downloads, model downloads, release/update checks and any explicitly connected remote service.

PLATFORM NOTES

Important Linux guidance.

The Linux bootstrap covers common package-manager families, while actual desktop and GPU environments can still differ significantly.

Linux should be treated as an actively validated platform rather than assumed identical to Windows.

If acceleration is unavailable, use a compatible fallback backend where supported and expect lower performance.
