Getting started

Get Wylde running in five minutes. The platform launches its own native services on Windows — there is no Docker requirement for the default install.

Prerequisites

  • Windows 11 (Wylde is Windows-native; macOS and Linux builds are on the roadmap)
  • ~6 GB free disk space (more if you'll be training adapters)
  • An NVIDIA GPU with CUDA 12.8 if you want to use the trainer or local image generation
  • Optional: Intel NPU for the low-power voice path

Defaults are loopback-only. Every service binds to 127.0.0.1. Wylde does not open any inbound ports until you explicitly enable Remote Access.

Install

Download the installer from the downloads page and run it. The installer drops the Fletch desktop app and the platform launcher (launch_wylde.bat) onto your Start menu.

First launch

Open Wylde from the Start menu, or run the launcher directly:

launch_wylde.bat

The launcher boots the platform in seven groups (Ollama → n8n → core → data → orchestration → network → GUI) and brings up about twenty native services in well under a minute. The Fletch GUI opens automatically when everything is healthy.

On first launch you'll be asked to create a local account. The credentials live on your machine — they're not sent anywhere.

Verify it's running

From a shell, hit the unified gateway:

curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/health

You should see something like:

{
  "status": "healthy",
  "healthy_services": 20,
  "active_tools": 62
}

To list the catalog of tools the platform exposes:

curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/tools

Run a tool

Run Python through the sandboxed tool-runner:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/tools/execute_python/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"params": {"code": "print(42)"}}'

Remote access (optional)

The Fletch Devices tab has a Remote Access toggle. Turning it on:

  1. Installs Tailscale automatically if it isn't present (admin prompt the first time).
  2. Asks you to sign into Tailscale in your browser to link this device.
  3. Starts the fletch-web nginx host and the device-gate approval service.
  4. Shows the URL you visit on your phone.

The first time a new phone visits the URL it sees an Awaiting Approval page. Enable Discovery Mode in the Devices tab and approve the device to let it through.

Stopping Wylde

stop_wylde.bat            # stops every Wylde process by window title
stop_wylde.bat --all      # also stops Ollama
