Set up

  1. Download and extract the source tarball from the release page above.

    Or clone directly: git clone https://github.com/asuramaya/hector-vector.git

  2. Run the installer from the extracted folder:

    ./install.sh --desktop --app

    Sets up a project-local .venv, installs the runtime deps, adds an app-launcher shortcut, and opens the app window when done. Drop --desktop --app for a bare install (then run ./run.sh any time).

  3. Optional: install the AI pipeline deps (upscaling, background removal, vectorize) the first time you need them.

    ./install.sh --ai — or let the app prompt you on first use.
