Appearance

USB and airgap ​

Use current Suite installers on a portable stick without baking GGUF into the package.

Downloads ​

Canonical artifacts: GitHub Releases - chaosnexus-suite (suite-v*).

Suite software is AGPL-3.0-or-later. GGUF weights are Path 2 (not in the installer): size and UX keep models out of the default Suite. Hub cards cover base IBM Granite terms and Tuned packaging notices. See Licensing.

Launch ​

  1. Linux: chmod +x the AppImage and run it. Without FUSE, extract *-x86_64-linux.tar.gz and run ChaosNexus_Suite.AppDir/AppRun.
  2. Windows: extract the zip and run ChaosNexus-Suite.bat.
  3. macOS: open the .app (Gatekeeper may need right-click → Open for unsigned alpha).

Path 2 models (airgap) ​

  1. On a networked host, download Tuned GGUF from Hugging Face (TunedChaos/ChaosNexus_Tuned_v1-GGUF), read the Hub card, and accept applicable terms.
  2. Copy the .gguf onto the stick (for example models/).
  3. Offline, choose that local file in Settings → Models, or place it under the host cache (~/.chaosnexus/crucible/models/ today).

Do not expect the Suite AppImage/zip/.app to contain weights.

Config location (0.8.5) ​

Preferences and caches still live under the host user home (~/.chaosnexus/…). Stick-local data/models roots are planned for a later release; see the Suite README Next note.

Unsigned alpha ​

Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper may warn until signing lands. Prefer Open anyway / right-click Open for testing.
