Image Prompt Library v0.8.0 - Native Windows Quick Start

Image Prompt Library now has a native Windows quick start, with the same local-first experience already available on macOS, Linux, and WSL.

Highlights

  • Install and run natively on Windows 10 or 11 with PowerShell 5.1+.
  • Manage the app in the background with start, stop, status, and doctor commands.
  • Keep versioned application installs separate from your private prompt library.
  • Verify release manifests, checksums, and downloaded archives before installation.
  • Recover from handled update failures and roll back to a validated previous version.
  • Load optional English, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese sample data.
  • Continue using the existing macOS, Linux, and WSL installer without changes.

Windows Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11
  • PowerShell 5.1 or later
  • Python 3.10 or later

The installer does not install Python, Node.js, or other system dependencies automatically.

Install on Windows

Run this command in PowerShell:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EddieTYP/image-prompt-library/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

The installer starts Image Prompt Library in the background and opens the local browser view.

Manage the App

image-prompt-library status
image-prompt-library doctor
image-prompt-library stop
image-prompt-library start
image-prompt-library update
image-prompt-library rollback

Optional Sample Data

image-prompt-library sample-data en
image-prompt-library sample-data zh_hans
image-prompt-library sample-data zh_hant

Data Safety

Your private prompt library is stored outside versioned application files. Normal updates, rollbacks, and uninstalls preserve it.

Deleting the library requires an explicit destructive command:

image-prompt-library uninstall --delete-library

Update an Existing Installation

image-prompt-library update --version v0.8.0

Notes

  • The public .cmd launcher works when the calling PowerShell session uses the Restricted execution policy without changing the user's policy.
  • Windows packages are currently unsigned, so SmartScreen behavior may vary by system policy.
  • Transactional recovery covers handled installer and runtime failures; it is not durable recovery from an operating system or power interruption.
  • Prompt data, SQLite storage, and images remain on the user's machine unless the user chooses an external service.

See the installation guide and troubleshooting guide for more details.
