You are viewing this page on a phone. WivenLLM is installed on a computer, running Windows or macOS. Reopen this page on your computer to download it.
Download the installer
Downloaded from the browser, the installer will trigger a warning on first launch: see step 1 below.
Linux — RHEL 9, Rocky 9, AlmaLinux 9, or recent Fedora, x86_64 only. Not Ubuntu, Debian, or Mint: the embedded database engine is compiled for the RHEL system library, and the application fails on the first data access on these distributions. RHEL 8 and Rocky 8 are too old. There is no ARM64 version. On a compatible distribution, the RPM package is preferable to the AppImage. WivenLLM-x86_64.rpm.
Install from the terminal
recommendedThis is the simplest way: your system won't display any warnings because the alert is added by the browser, not by the file. Just one line to paste, nothing else.
Open PowerShell, paste this line, and press Enter. The download will start, and then the installer will open. No administrator privileges are required, and SmartScreen will not appear.
Expected SHA-256 fingerprint: · Verify:
Open Terminal, paste this line, and press Enter. The file will download and then open: drag WivenLLM into Applications. Downloaded this way, the application opens normally because macOS doesn't add the quarantine attribute that triggers the Gatekeeper block.
Expected SHA-256 fingerprint: · Verify:
Open a terminal, paste this line, and press Enter. No installation or administrator privileges are required: the file is made executable and then launched. If the launch fails with a FUSE error, try again with ./WivenLLM-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run.
Expected SHA-256 fingerprint: · Verify:
This is the only command on this page that requires administrator privileges: dnf It installs the package for the entire system and resolves its dependencies. It requires glibc 2.34 or later, so neither RHEL 8 nor Rocky 8.

Download interrupted? Add -C - to the curl line to pick it up where it stopped.
How do updates arrive?
Windows — the application updates itself, only downloading what has changed.
Linux, AppImage — same thing: the application replaces its own file, without administrator rights.
Linux, RPM — No automatic updates. The application downloads the new package and notifies you; you reinstall it yourself.
macOS — no automatic update. The application downloads the new disk image and displays it in the Finder; you drag it into Applications.
If you downloaded from the browser
The installer is not signed: your system will warn you on first launch. This is expected, and it's the primary reason for installation failure. Using the terminal command above, this warning does not appear.
Windows. SmartScreen displays "Windows protected your PC", publisher unknown. Click on More info, then on Run anyway.
macOS. Gatekeeper blocks the first opening. Make a Right-click on the application, then Open, and confirm. A regular double-click does not offer this option.
Allow thirty minutes for installation
This is measured, not estimated. The installer decompresses approximately 1.8 GB: the application, a Node environment, a Python environment, and two embedded agents.
For a good part of this time, the screen will give the impression that nothing is happening. Do not close the window and do not turn off the machine.
At the first launch
WivenLLM offers to install a local AI model. If you accept, it will download it, between 2 and 42 GB depending on the model chosen, with the progress displayed in the application.
You can decline, pause, or change the template later. Then everything runs locally, offline, without an account.
Both installers are provided without code signing. The SHA-256 hash displayed under each button is read directly from the file being served: it allows you to verify that your download is intact. View rates for a team →
Software first, model second
The application does not contain no model. It installs in one minute. On the first launch, you choose the model to run, and it downloads — only once.
Step 1
The applicationA single installation file. No account to create, no API key to enter.
Step 2
The indexing engine23 MB downloaded automatically on first launch. This is what reads your documents and makes them searchable.
Step 3
The language modelFrom 2 to 42 GB depending on the model chosen. Downloaded once, then fully usable offline.
What your machine can truly run
WivenLLM tests your configuration on first launch and only offers models that it runs correctly. For example:
| Model size | RAM recommended | Download size |
|---|---|---|
| 3 billion parameters | 6 GB | 2.0 to 2.1 GB |
| 7 to 8 billion | 12 GB | 4.4 to 4.9 GB |
| 13 to 14 billion | 16 GB | 8 to 9 GB |
| 30 to 32 billion | 32 GB | 18 to 20 GB |
| 70 billion | 64 GB | 42 GB |
RAM is the determining factor. A dedicated GPU or NPU speeds up generation, but is not mandatory. A model with 7 to 8 billion parameters is sufficient for the vast majority of document management uses.
What you can give it to read
Your files are indexed locally, on your disk. Nothing is sent anywhere.
What the desktop version cannot do
Five limitations, announced before installation rather than discovered afterward. They are all covered by the Business version, which we install and maintain for you.
- Importing a web page by its address — the desktop version reads files, not URLs.
- Audio transcript — sound files are not yet supported.
- Dedicated business agents — invoices, contracts, HR: these agents fall under AgentHub, whose console is included in Business.
- Local image generation — it requires a separate Python environment.
- External vector bases — the database remains local; connection to an enterprise database is done with the Business version.

Your AI is installed wherever you decide, on your workstation, your server or in a Swiss datacenter.
Getting started
We support your teams to get started and take advantage of the tool on a daily basis.
The application does not start ?
An error message appears and then the application closes? The details are in the log. Copy it using the command below and send it to info@wiven.ai — it contains the exact error, not just "failure".
Get-Content "$env:APPDATA\WivenLLM\logs\wiven-desktop.log" -Tail 200 | Set-ClipboardThe newspaper is located in %APPDATA%\WivenLLM\logs\wiven-desktop.log. To open the folder: explore "$env:APPDATA\WivenLLM\logs"".

The log does not contain your documents, conversations, or API keys. Since version 1.14.7, it records the database migration step, the engine path and size, the number of migrations, and, in case of failure, the exact error Prisma and its code encountered before each launch.
