• If you need the native app: Download .exe installer
• I dont have money for signing it 😢

3. Web Version

• Try Clara Online
• Requires local Ollama installation

Prerequisites

1. Install Ollama (Required for all versions except Docker) Download from Ollama's website
2. Connect Default Ollama endpoint: http://localhost:11434

Mac Distribution Note

For Mac Users Installing This App

If you see a message that the app is damaged or can't be opened:

1. Right-click (or Control+click) on the app in Finder
2. Select "Open" from the context menu
3. Click "Open" on the security dialog
4. If still blocked, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and click "Open Anyway"

This happens because the app is not notarized with Apple. This is perfectly safe, but macOS requires this extra step for unsigned applications.

For Developers

Building for macOS:

• Development build (no notarization): npm run electron:build-mac-dev
• Production build (with notarization, requires Apple Developer Program):
  1. Set environment variables APPLE_ID, APPLE_ID_PASSWORD (app-specific password), and APPLE_TEAM_ID
  2. Run npm run electron:build-mac

To get an Apple Team ID, join the Apple Developer Program.
