System Requirements

Typical targets only — exact numbers depend on your platform and release. See the app repository README for up-to-date build and runtime expectations.

Grimoire (app)

  • Windows 10 or later, macOS 12 or later, or a recent 64-bit Linux distribution
  • On the order of a few hundred MB disk for the app; additional space for indexes and attachments

AI assistant (optional)

  • Ollama installed locally
  • About 4 GB RAM is a reasonable baseline to run smaller chat and embedding models; the real number is model-dependent — larger models, higher context windows, and keeping a model loaded can require 8 GB or much more. Check Ollama and your model’s documentation.
  • GPU acceleration supported but not required

Prefer to build from source?

Grimoire is open source under GPL v3. Clone the repository and build it yourself

git clone https://github.com/3ravens/Grimoire.git
  1. Install Rust, Node.js, the Tauri prerequisites for your OS, and the native libraries the app needs (libzim, WebKitGTK, vcpkg on Windows, and so on) — see builds-and-installers.md and the README. npm install alone is not enough on every platform.
  2. In the cloned repo, run npm install.
  3. Start the desktop app with npm run tauri dev (from the repository root), as documented in the README Development section.
