Download Guide#

If you are downloading from https://inference.js.org and see multiple files, use this page to pick the right one.

Find releases#

Open the releases page at https://inference.js.org/install.html

Pick by operating system#

Windows#

Common options:

  • .exe (NSIS installer): best default for most users.

  • .msi: useful in managed/business Windows environments.

  • .zip: portable/manual setup style.

Download from Microsoft Store

Recommended: choose .exe or the Microsoft Store version for the best experience. The .msi is a good choice if you need to deploy across multiple machines in a business environment. The .zip is for users who prefer a portable version without installation.

macOS#

Common options:

  • .dmg: best default for most users.

  • .pkg: installer package style.

  • .zip: portable app archive.

Recommended: choose .dmg.

Linux#

Common options:

  • .AppImage: easiest no-install style for many distros.

  • .deb: Debian/Ubuntu package install.

  • .tar.xz: archive/manual setup.

Recommended: choose .AppImage unless your distro workflow prefers .deb.

Pick by hardware acceleration#

Some releases may include acceleration variants in the filename.

  • Standard/no label: safest default for most users.

  • CUDA: for NVIDIA GPU acceleration.

  • ROCM: for AMD GPU acceleration.

  • JETPACK: for NVIDIA Jetson devices.

If you are unsure, choose the standard build first.

32-bit vs 64-bit / architecture labels#

You may see architecture tags such as x64, arm64, or amd64:

  • x64 / amd64: most modern desktop/laptop CPUs.

  • arm64: Apple Silicon Macs and some ARM-based systems.

Choose the build that matches your system architecture.

If you are still not sure#

  1. Start with the standard installer for your OS.

  2. Run the app and test model usage.

  3. Switch to an accelerator build later only if you need it.
