First-Run Notes

vectile is unsigned, so first launch may warn you - it's safe and open source.

  • Windows: SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway (or unblock the .exe in Properties).
  • macOS: right-click the app → Open (or xattr -d com.apple.quarantine on the .app).
  • 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.
