Installation and updates
Choose a package for your device from the official download entry, then verify startup and connectivity. Installation, model access, and tool readiness need separate checks.
Choose a system and package
Visit the EvoX download page. Select an available operating system, architecture, and release channel rather than guessing package URLs.
| System | What to check |
|---|---|
| macOS | Matching architecture and OS permission prompts for capabilities you need |
| Windows | Current Windows package, background service, and required commands |
| Linux | The reviewed desktop release matrix has no Linux installer; Linux kernel or CLI artifacts are not desktop installers |
Desktop availability does not imply identical OS integrations. Use the controls and system prompts available on the current device.
First launch
- Open the app and confirm the main interface loads.
- Connect a model and send a test request using Models and services.
- Select a workspace or authorize folders when local files are needed.
- Connect browsers and plugins when tasks require them.
- Check app version and background service status in advanced settings.
If the EvoX command is unavailable in a terminal, check CLI installation or repair status. A running desktop app does not prove the command is installed.
Release channels
| Channel | Intended use |
|---|---|
| Pre | Development and rapid validation |
| Beta | Public testing with testing-stage changes |
| Stable | Versions accepted through earlier release stages |
The app normally receives updates within its channel. Changing channels generally requires the corresponding official package rather than toggling an ordinary setting.
Before and after an update
Save work, note the complete current version, and follow the update prompts. Afterwards, verify the installed version, model connection, and frequently used tools.
If no update appears, check channel, platform assets, and managed policy. If package verification fails, inspect the network, proxy, and source rather than disabling signature checks.
See Beta and stable for channel, manifest, and signature details.
Startup problems
Record the system, architecture, app version, and error message, then check background services and diagnostics. Restarting the app, restarting a service, and clearing data are different operations. Do not begin by deleting workspaces or resetting everything.
