One command
Choose this computer.
Run the command on the machine that will host Jarvis. The installer uses a checksum-verified closed package; it does not download the private application source or request infrastructure credentials.

Automatic setup
What happens next.
-
01
Your machine is checked
Hephaistos reads the operating system, processor, memory and available GPU acceleration.
-
02
The model list is refreshed
The signed catalog is downloaded and reduced to exactly three choices that fit this machine.
-
03
You choose 1, 2 or 3
Hephaistos explains the recommended, faster and lighter options before installing anything large.
-
04
The service and remote access start
The model engine runs only on local loopback. An outbound encrypted tunnel connects it to your account without opening a router port.
-
05
You pair Hephaistos
In the app, open Settings, Server setup, Your server, then enter the 10-character code shown by the installer.
Before you start
- At least 8 GB of memory and 10 GB of free storage.
- A stable internet connection for the first model download.
- Keep the computer awake while the first setup finishes.
- NVIDIA acceleration requires a working Vulkan driver; CUDA alone is not advertised as active.
Prefer no computer setup?
Hephaistos Cloud is the paid managed alternative.
- Open Hephaistos and choose Hephaistos Cloud.
- Review the price and renewal period before purchase.
- Activate the subscription through the app store.
- Return to Jarvis; no personal node is required.
Clear about privacy
- Your prompts and model output are processed by the model running on your computer in personal mode.
- Account login, pairing, signed routing and tunnel coordination use Hephaistos services.
- The installer never asks for a Supabase key, Cloudflare token, Apple credential or administrator password.
- The active compute mode and personal node name remain visible in the app.
