Native Windows (advanced)

Phase-1 of the native-Windows-support RFC (#298). Mirrors the Linux (systemd) and macOS (launchd) deployments — but for PowerShell, without WSL2 or Docker. Choose this over WSL2 only if you want to avoid a Linux VM; WSL2 remains the smoother experience for most users.

What you get

A PowerShell installer that probes prerequisites, installs uv, clones the repo, and runs uv sync --extra desktop.
An optional Windows scheduled-task service equivalent to the systemd unit and launchd plist.
Loopback default — the service binds 127.0.0.1 so no API key is required.

What you need

Windows 10 1809+ or Windows 11.
Python 3.10 – 3.13 (Python 3.14 has no numpy Windows wheels yet — see #432).
git on PATH.
~5 GB free disk on %LOCALAPPDATA%.

Install

In any PowerShell:

irm https://open-jarvis.github.io/OpenJarvis/install.ps1 | iex

The installer will:

Refuse non-Windows hosts and old Windows builds.
Confirm Python 3.10 – 3.13.
Confirm git.
Install uv if absent (via the official astral.sh/uv PowerShell installer).
Clone the repo to %LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenJarvis\src.
Run uv sync --extra desktop.
Prompt to register the scheduled-task service (skip with -SkipService).

Run it

cd "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\OpenJarvis\src"
uv run jarvis serve

Open http://127.0.0.1:8000/health to verify.

Scheduled-task service

If you skipped the prompt during install, register the auto-start task manually:

$srv = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\OpenJarvis\src\deploy\windows\jarvis-service.ps1"
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $srv install

State:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $srv status

Remove:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $srv uninstall

See deploy/windows/README.md for the LAN-exposed configuration and the parity table against systemd / launchd.
