Official Command

This command downloads and executes the latest install script from the main branch. Convenient — but the script can change after this page is reviewed, so read it first.

Windows Checklist

Run PowerShell as the user who will use the app.
Inspect the raw script first — look for download URLs, install paths, and PATH changes.
If SmartScreen or antivirus blocks a binary, verify it came from official TinyHumans or GitHub links before bypassing.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

This is the recommended sequence for a clean Windows install. Each step includes what to check and what to do if it fails.

Step 1 — Download: go to tinyhumans.ai/openhuman and download the signed EXE for your architecture (x64 or ARM). If you prefer the script, open it in a browser and read every line before running it.
Step 2 — Run: double-click the EXE or paste the PowerShell command into a terminal. If SmartScreen appears, verify the publisher is TinyHumans before clicking 'More info' → 'Run anyway'.
Step 3 — Permissions: grant any OS prompts the installer requests. Note what each permission is for so you can audit them later.
Step 4 — Launch: open the app and confirm the version number in Settings matches the release you downloaded.
Step 5 — First-run check: open Settings > Integrations and verify the list loads. Do not connect anything yet — run the privacy checklist first.

If This Step Fails

Common Windows-specific issues and their fixes.

Script fails with execution policy error: run Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser first, then retry.
Download is blocked by company proxy: use a personal network or ask IT to whitelist GitHub and tinyhumans.ai.
Installer says 'Windows protected your PC': click 'More info' and verify the publisher is TinyHumans before proceeding.
App launches then crashes immediately: check Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application for the crash signature, then search the GitHub issues.
Antivirus quarantined the installer: restore it from quarantine and add an exclusion for the OpenHuman install path.

Hardware and Compatibility

Make sure your system meets the requirements before installing.

Windows 10 (1903+) or Windows 11 required. Windows 7/8 are not supported.
x64 or ARM64 processor. Check Settings > System > About to confirm your architecture.
Minimum 4 GB RAM (8 GB recommended if you plan to run local AI with Ollama).
At least 2 GB free disk space. The vault grows with email and chat history — plan for 5-10 GB if you sync large accounts.
Administrator access is only needed during install, not for daily use.

Post-Install Verification

Confirm the installation succeeded before moving on to configuration.

Launch the app and check the version in Settings matches your download.
Set the Memory Tree vault path to a folder that is backed up.
Test the search panel to confirm the local index initialized.
Open one integration page (do not connect yet) and verify the OAuth consent screen URL is from the real service.
Run a quick malware scan on the install directory if you used the script installer.

Uninstall or Roll Back

If you need to remove OpenHuman, follow these steps to clean up fully.

Uninstall the app via Settings > Apps > OpenHuman > Uninstall.
Delete the vault folder manually if you want to remove all synced data.
Revoke any OAuth tokens at the source services (Google Account > Third-party apps, etc.).
Remove PATH entries if the installer added them. Check System Properties > Environment Variables.
Reinstalling later is safe — just repeat the install steps above.
