Getting started

From install to a healthy local node

Current build 0.1.0. Five steps — no account required for the local workstation path.

  1. 1. Install the workstation

    The full desktop app installs today from the Downloads page via two live channels:
    • npx @mederos/desktop — the full Electron workstation (Win / macOS / Linux, Node ≥ 18)
    • pip install mederos-node then mederos-node init — slim local node (Python ≥ 3.10), headless or phone-paired

    One-click native installers (Windows .exe, Linux .AppImage) are in final packaging — the npm channel above installs the same app in the meantime.

  2. 2. Complete first-run

    On first launch, Mederos starts the slim local node, checks /health, and offers tray + login-item + notification prompts. Keep the node on 127.0.0.1:8532 unless you intentionally expose LAN pairing.

  3. 3. Verify the local node

    curl http://127.0.0.1:8532/health
# expect: {"status":"ok","node":"mederos", ...}

curl "http://127.0.0.1:8532/market/bars?asset=equities&symbol=AAPL"

    If health fails, open Doctor from the desktop menu (or run mederos-node doctor on the pip channel).

  4. 4. Hardware-aware defaults

    npm and pip probe CPU / RAM / GPU and write ~/.mederos/profile.json. Low-tier hosts get smaller heaps, GPU-off Electron flags, and skip optional mDNS; high-tier can enable mesh workers and (on Linux) uvloop. Re-run with mederos --probe or mederos-node run --probe.

  5. 5. Explore without an account

    Still in the browser: Guided first run in Studio (run → coin-flip → why), browse certified skill, Convert a Pine Script or Tour the engine. Sign in later when you want machine pairing and the full mesh.
