Installing the application
We do not recommend installing AnythingLLM Desktop for "all users" on a Windows machine. Instead, install for "Current User" only. Installing for all users will cause issues with the app and is not supported.
After downloading the windows exe installer for AnythingLLM, you can double-click the installer and it will display the installation process.
After which, now the regular installer can run to install AnythingLLM Desktop!
Local LLM support
➤ AnythingLLM desktop includes a built-in local LLM powered via Ollama (opens in a new tab). This is a super convenient way to get started with LLMs without any additional setup.
In order for AnythingLLM to leverage your GPU (NVIDIA or AMD) or even NPU we need to install some extra dependencies. This will be done automatically during installation.
If these extra dependencies are not installed, you will see a warning in the UI and you will get reduced performance for local LLMs since you will be limited to CPU processing.
Click on the application name "AnythingLLM" on your desktop to boot up AnythingLLM!
your first boot may take a few minutes to complete on some systems, but subsequent boots will be much near instant.
