Install and start your first chat

Toskar Pro is distributed separately from this Core release. The release files are Toskar Core. Verify them against SHA256SUMS.txt. Core archives are not code-signed.

On macOS, Homebrew installs Core: brew tap yeixio/toskar https://github.com/yeixio/toskar-core, then brew install yeixio/toskar/toskar, then run toskar. On Debian and Ubuntu, add the apt repository shown in the release notes and install the toskar package. RPM packages for x86_64 and aarch64 are attached to each release. The deb and rpm packages install a system service that starts Toskar at boot. Windows and other systems use the headless archive.

The daemon serves the web UI at http://127.0.0.1:7331. Only this computer can reach it until you turn on local network access.

1. Open http://127.0.0.1:7331, or open Toskar Pro if you installed it. Follow the hardware and model setup. The first model and runtime download need internet access and enough disk space.
2. Open Models and install a model the fit label recommends for this computer. Wait for the download to finish.
3. Open Chat and send a short message. New chats use Auto, which picks an installed model for each message. The first answer can take longer while the model loads.
4. Find your version in the sidebar or Settings, and match it to the documentation version above.
