Desktop App

Download the installer for Windows or macOS. The desktop app bundles the backend and runs the same unified UI in a native window.

Configuration

• First run: The app creates a data folder. You can set VASTIAN_DATA_ROOT to choose the location.
• LLM provider: Configure via the Settings page in the app, or set VASTIAN_LLM_PROVIDER and API keys in .env.

Troubleshooting (Desktop App)

Backend won't start from the installer

1. Check the log:

   • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\com.vastian\logs\vastian.log or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Vastian\logs\vastian.log
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/com.vastian/logs/vastian.log

2. Run from Command Prompt to see errors: open cmd, go to the install folder (e.g. C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Programs\Vastian), run Vastian.exe. Stderr appears in the console.

3. First launch can take 60–90s — PyInstaller extracts on first run.

4. Port 4545 must be free. Check with netstat -an | findstr 4545 (Windows) or lsof -i :4545 (macOS).

5. Antivirus may block vastian-backend.exe — add an exception if needed.
