Installing

Audience: end users setting up Mnemo on a supported desktop OS.

Supported platforms​

Mnemo targets Windows (your primary release channel today). Other platforms follow the same installer mechanics when published—check release notes for the build you download.

Getting the app​

Use the official installer or distribution package from your release source (e.g. GitHub Releases or internal pipeline). Do not run unsigned binaries from untrusted origins.

First launch​

On first run the app may:

  • Create or open a local data store (notes, decks, embeddings, settings).
  • Show onboarding or a welcome note depending on build configuration.

If documentation ships with product screenshots, place them under docs/assets/screenshots/ and reference them from this page (no repo README required).

Updates​

The desktop shell integrates an update service (Velopack-based in source). In practice: use the in-app update flow when prompted, or reinstall from a new release if your channel does not expose automatic updates.

Where data lives​

Exact paths are OS- and packaging-dependent. For contributors documenting behavior: storage is implemented via IStorageProvider in Infrastructure (see Data storage). End-user docs should list concrete folders only once verified for each shipping installer.
