No terminal commands. No manual installs. The launcher handles everything — Python, dependencies, AI models, and Ollama — so you can focus on your documents.
Click the Download the app button above (or the one at the bottom of this page). You'll get a single archive file with everything inside.
Windows: right-click the file → Extract All…. macOS: double-click it. Move the extracted folder somewhere permanent, like Documents.
Windows: double-click launch.bat. macOS / Linux: run launch.sh. A setup page opens in your browser — that's your control center.
Click Install. The launcher sets up the Python environment, installs dependencies, downloads the AI models, and installs Ollama — automatically, with progress shown for every step.
Once installation finishes, click Launch. The desktop app opens — usually in under a minute. From then on you can close the launcher anytime.
Pick a folder of documents, click Ingest all files, then type a question in plain English. You'll get an answer with inline citations pointing to the exact passages.
The same archive contains everything for Windows, macOS, and Linux — run the launcher script for your system and you're done.
Double-click launch.bat after extracting. Windows SmartScreen may ask you to confirm — click More info → Run anyway.
Double-click launch.sh (or run it from Terminal). If Gatekeeper warns, right-click → Open to allow it once.
Run launch.sh from a terminal. Ensure Python 3.11+ is installed; the launcher handles the rest.
No. The launcher does everything for you: it sets up the Python environment, installs all dependencies, downloads the AI models, and installs Ollama automatically. You only need to download the app and run the launcher.
No. Lawyer Assistant runs on any modern computer, even without a GPU. If you do have an NVIDIA GPU with enough memory, the app automatically uses it to make searching faster.
You need internet for the first install to download the models. After that, the app works fully offline with a local model.
No. Lawyer Assistant is free and open source under the MIT license. There are no subscriptions and no hidden fees.
Each setup step can be retried on its own. Just click Retry on the failed step — you never need to restart the whole installation.
The archive includes everything — models and launcher included. Install in minutes, free.
