The macOS bootstrap handles Intel and Apple Silicon detection. Use the official release asset, make the command bootstrap executable, then continue through OpenMindAI's local storage and model setup.
OpenMindAI-Setup.command
OpenMindAI does not require high-end desktop hardware for the default local model. The items below separate practical baseline compatibility from hardware that only improves speed or enables larger models.
Use the official OpenMindAI release package rather than a third-party mirror. Published checksums should be used when available.
Download the official .command bootstrap for the selected release, make it executable, then run it from Terminal. The exact published command is shown below when available.
The first-run flow is intentionally local-first and separates the desktop application from the AI data root.
Local AI inference, conversation history, local settings, installed model/runtime management, project data already on the machine, diagnostics and local backup workflows.
Initial source/bootstrap downloads, runtime downloads, model downloads, release/update checks and any explicitly connected remote service.
The bootstrap detects Intel versus Apple Silicon as part of the supported setup path.
Only bypass macOS security prompts for a file you verified came from the official OpenMindAI release source.
Broader hardware validation continues; local model performance depends on memory, model size and the selected backend.
