# GI JI Windows Test Build

This package is for clean-computer testing of what a person actually
experiences. It is not a customer release: it is unsigned, and removal and
licence transfer on Windows have not been checked end to end.

## Requirements

- Windows 11 x64
- A current browser
- An internet connection for the one-time set-up
- About 6 GiB of free disk space

Ollama does not need to be installed first. If it is absent, the install helper
downloads and verifies its own copy.

## Set-up

Choose **Extract All** and place the complete package in a folder you can write
to, including one whose path contains spaces. The extracted folder holds the
`GI JI` app folder and the install helper beside it. Double-click:

```text
GI JI Installer.exe
```

If SmartScreen appears, choose **More info → Run anyway**. That is expected
while this build is unsigned.

The helper opens a window and works through four named steps: checking the
computer, placing and verifying the app files (which includes starting the
bundled private search index once), installing and confirming Ollama, and
writing `INFO\INSTALL-REPORT.txt`. It does not download the AI models — GI JI
does that itself the first time it is opened. The helper asks nothing, needs no
administrator account, and installs for the signed-in user at:

```text
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\GI JI
```

The two AI models GI JI downloads on first use are about 4 GB together, plus about 1.5 GB for Ollama on Windows
when it is not already present — roughly 4.6 GB in total on a computer that has
neither. If the run is interrupted, start it again: it keeps what finished and
resumes only what is missing.

## Opening GI JI

Open the installed folder and double-click:

```text
GI JI.exe
```

That starts:

- Ollama on `127.0.0.1:11434`
- the bundled private search index, Qdrant 1.18.2, on `127.0.0.1:6333`
- GI JI on `127.0.0.1:8080`

GI JI and its local services listen only on `127.0.0.1`.

Opening `GI JI.exe` before the helper has finished prints a plain message
saying set-up is not finished and naming the installer. That is the intended
behaviour, not a fault.

## Stopping

Use the power control at the top of the GI JI window. It stops the app and the
search index owned by this folder; there is no separate stop script.

## Testing notes

Never install a new test build over a live GI JI folder: the helper places GI JI
at one fixed per-account location, so move or rename an existing library first.
Each GI JI folder owns its own `data\` directory and its own search index.
