Windows x64 installation

Install OpenMindAI on Windows.

Windows x64 is the primary tested OpenMindAI desktop path. Install the official package, choose your AI storage root, then let first-run setup prepare the local runtime and model workflow.

01
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.

Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit
Modern x64 CPU
16 GB RAM recommended for the baseline local model experience
SSD storage strongly recommended
A supported GPU can improve inference speed; compatible CPU execution remains the fallback path
02
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

Run the installer or bootstrap.

For the normal release path, open the signed/official Windows installer. If you intentionally use the Git bootstrap asset from the release, run its published setup command from the downloaded location.

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.
05
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 Windows guidance.

Windows x64 is the primary tested platform in the current public release documentation.

If Windows SmartScreen appears, confirm the file came from the official OpenMindAI release and verify the published checksum when one is available.

GPU/runtime behavior depends on the hardware and supported backend; CPU execution is the compatibility path when acceleration is unavailable.
