	macOS universal Disk image (.dmg) — recommended App bundle (.zip)
	Linux AppImage — chmod +x first Debian package (.deb) — sudo apt install ./vectile-linux-amd64.deb

Checksums: SHA256SUMS.txt below.

First-Run Notes

vectile is unsigned. It's safe and open source.

• Windows: SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway, or unblock the .exe in Properties.
• macOS: right-click → Open, or xattr -d com.apple.quarantine the .app.
• Linux: chmod +x the AppImage; the .deb pulls GTK4, WebKitGTK 6.0, and libgomp1.

Older PCs

Normal builds need AVX2 (Intel Haswell 2013+, AMD Excavator 2015+). Older CPUs need the
legacy build: same app, any 64-bit CPU, but never install both.

K-quant models (BGE-M3, BGE Small Q4_K_M, all-MiniLM Q4_K_M) are about 17x slower there.
Pick BGE Small EN v1.5 Q8_0 in Settings; it runs at about half speed.

• Linux: the AppImage needs chmod +x; the .deb pulls GTK4/WebKitGTK 6.0 + libgomp1 automatically.

Older PCs

The normal Windows builds need a CPU with AVX2 (Intel Haswell, 2013+, or AMD Excavator, 2015+).
On anything older use the legacy installer or zip, which run on any 64-bit CPU. They are the
same app, so installing one over the normal build just replaces it; do not install both.

It is slower, and mostly on the quantized models: BGE-M3, BGE Small Q4_K_M and all-MiniLM
Q4_K_M are roughly 17x slower, because they are K-quant models that need AVX2 to be fast.
The recommended BGE Small EN v1.5 Q8_0 is only about half speed, so pick that one in
Settings on an old machine and expect a slow first index.
