### Install with your agent — copy and paste
Paste this into an agent that can run commands on your computer:

Install searchi on this computer and get it ready for my first search.
Official repository: https://tea.karlcom.de/karl/searchi
Detect my operating system and processor architecture. Use a suitable official
release if one is available, verifying any published checksums. Otherwise,
set up the current source version using the repository's installation/build
instructions. Handle the required tools and dependencies for me; don't just
give me a list of commands to run. Keep the installation in a dedicated folder
and preserve any existing searchi settings and index.
Install the desktop app by default. On headless Linux, install the command-line
version instead, without desktop dependencies. Set up the genuine local Google
EmbeddingGemma 2 runtime and model, and the media helpers available for my
platform. Use supported hardware acceleration with CPU fallback. Explain any
large downloads or platform limitations before proceeding with those steps.
Launch searchi and check that it actually opens and its local search model is
ready. Create a normal launcher or shortcut so I can open it again. If a prerequisite, platform component
or permission prevents setup, explain precisely what is missing; don't report
a working installation until it is verified. Ask for my help only when a
password, system approval or other manual action is required.
Let me choose which folders to index. Keep search local and optional cloud
summaries disabled. Finish by showing me how to add a folder and try a filename
search followed by a search in my own words.
```
Your agent needs internet access and permission to install software locally.
Since installers aren't published yet, setup currently involves building the
app and may take a while. The local search model downloads approximately
**865 MB**. Windows, macOS and Linux release validation is still in progress;
your agent should report any platform limitation it encounters.
Prefer to set it up yourself? See the
[build and launch instructions](docs/BUILDING.md).
