Install Anvaya.

From zero to first remembered session.

Direct answer

Anvaya is pre-1.0 and builds from source: Rust 1.75+ plus Ollama on Linux or macOS. Three moves — runtime, model, agent — then anv init scaffolds your first project in under 50ms. Total time: about fifteen minutes plus one model download.

Install Anvaya

Steps

011 · Install Rust + OllamaRust 1.75 or newer via rustup; Ollama from ollama.com. Verify with rustc --version and ollama --version.
022 · Pull a modelollama pull devstral (default). Confirm it answers on localhost:11434. Larger coders help on refactors; devstral covers daily work.
033 · Build AnvayaClone the Anvaya-CLI and anvaya-mind-rs repos, cargo build --release. One ~15MB binary plus the Mind daemon.
044 · Init your repoRun anv init in your project: .anvaya/{config.json, backups/, sessions/, mind/} appears idempotently. First frame in under 100ms.
055 · First sessionLaunch anv, pick a small task, approve tool calls inline. End the session — the graph records its first nodes. Session two is already smarter.

Questions

Asked About Install Anvaya.

Q

Windows support?

Not yet — the Mind daemon speaks Unix sockets (Linux/macOS). Windows timeline is undecided; the site states the limit plainly.

Q

How much disk/RAM?

Binary ~15MB, idle ~5MB, graph grows with your history (SQLite + flat index, typically megabytes). The model dominates: 7B needs ~8GB RAM, 30B-class wants 24GB+.

Q

Do I need API keys?

No. Ollama-first means zero keys to start; Anthropic/OpenAI keys are optional upgrades per task.

Stop Starting From Zero.

One binary. 11+9 Rust crates. 545 tests. Hand-written HNSW index. Three transport modes. Four providers, Ollama, Anthropic, OpenAI, Siemens. Zero API keys required to start. Mind remembers everything after the first session.
