|
|
|
|
These steps can be used to setup Khoj on a clean, new Windows 11 machine. It has been tested on a Windows VM
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
1. Ensure you have Visual Studio C++ Build tools installed. You can download it [from Microsoft here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/). At the minimum, you should have the following configuration:

|
|
3. Ensure you have Python installed. You can check by running `python --version`. If you don't, install the latest version [from here](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
|
|
- Ensure you have pip installed: `py -m ensurepip --upgrade`.
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
1. Open a PowerShell terminal.
|
|
7. Run `pip install khoj-assistant`
|
|
8. Start Khoj with `khoj`
|
|
|
|
## Installation in a Virtual Environment
|
|
Use this if you want to install with a virtual environment. This will make it much easier to manage your dependencies. You can read more about [virtual environments](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/) here.
|
|
|
|
1. Open a PowerShell terminal with the `Run as Administrator` privileges.
|
|
5. Create a virtual environment: `mkdir khoj && cd khoj && py -m venv .venv`
|
|
6. Activate the virtual environment: `.\.venv\Scripts\activate`. If you get a permissions error, then run `Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned`.
|
|
7. Run `pip install khoj-assistant`
|
|
8. Start Khoj with `khoj`
