  3. Set up an LLM. Two options are available:
    • Local LLM (free, offline): See the Local LLM guide. Requires capable GPU hardware.

Uninstall

First Run Checklist

Locate the Elite Intel icon in your desktop environment. It may appear under Games or Utilities depending on your DE.

Once installed and configured, complete the following before the first session:

  1. Start the app and open the Player tab. Set the Journal and Bindings directory path. The app requires these to process game data. Restart services after setting the paths.
  2. Start Services.
  3. Run Recalibrate Audio. This calibrates the engine to room noise and microphone characteristics. Recalibrate whenever hardware changes. The oscilloscope on the Settings/Audio tab turns green while speaking and red when silent.

For issues, report on Matrix. Bug reports and pull requests are welcome.
