System requirements
Everything the install needs on your machine — Windows or macOS, Node.js, Python, your agent CLI, and your own Claude or OpenAI Codex subscription and keys.
Command Center ships as a self-contained installer for Windows and macOS. The installer carries the platform itself — the app, the agent infrastructure, and the knowledge-graph engine — and the first-run wizard provisions the rest. What remains for you to bring is small and deliberate: your machine, your Claude subscription, and your account.
At a glance
| Requirement | Needed for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, or macOS | everything | Command Center 0.1.0 is a desktop application for Windows and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). |
| An agenticonsult account | sign-in (required) | Any account signs in; a Pro or Ultra subscription unlocks the working surfaces. |
| A Claude subscription + the Claude Code CLI | all agent work | Install the claude CLI from claude.ai/code and sign in once. Command Center runs every agent through it. |
| Python 3.11+ | first-run provisioning | Used to bootstrap the managed daemon environments; the wizard then installs its own pinned runtime for them. |
| Node.js 22+ | the video engines (Ultra) | The packaged app runs without Node. Install it if you plan to use the video engines. |
| Disk space | install + workspace | The installer download is about 320 MB; allow a few gigabytes for the provisioned runtime, the knowledge-graph engine, and your workspace. |
| Internet | sign-in, updates, model calls | Day-to-day agent work calls Claude on your subscription; the platform itself stays local. |
The first-run wizard checks Node.js, Python, and the claude CLI for you and
tells you what it found — none of these checks block setup, and you can fix
any of them afterward. See Install.
What the installer bundles
Everything the platform needs to run arrives in one download:
- The application — the desktop shell and every view.
- The full platform tree — the agent definitions, skills, routines, protocols, and agent-facing tool servers, laid down as readable files in the Command Center home you choose during setup.
- The knowledge-graph engine — ArcadeDB plus the Java runtime it needs, provisioned locally by the wizard. No Docker, no separate database install.
- A managed Python runtime — the wizard provisions each background service its own Python environment automatically on first run.
- A documents scaffold — a clean workspace with a worked example, ready for your own content.
The bundle contains no accounts, no API keys, and no one else's data. Later updates arrive as small bundles that refresh the whole platform — app, services, and agent infrastructure together — without touching your documents, settings, identity, or knowledge graph.
What you bring
- Your Claude subscription. Command Center is BYO Claude: agents run
through your own
claudeCLI sign-in, on your plan and your limits. See BYO Claude & keys. - Your subscription tier. Pro or Ultra, managed on the product page. Signing in requires only an account; the tier decides which surfaces unlock. See Tiers: Pro & Ultra.
- Optional API keys. A Gemini key unlocks full-depth semantic search in the knowledge graph — the graph itself works without it. Voice (Ultra) connects to a provider account you bring. All keys are entered locally and stay on your machine.
- Optional proxies. Heavy news and YouTube harvesting can route through residential proxies from any provider — off by default. See Bring your own proxy.
Network expectations
- Local by default. The background services and the knowledge-graph engine bind to localhost only — nothing listens on your network.
- Outbound when you work. Agent runs call Claude on your subscription; the intelligence desk fetches the sources you configure; sign-in and updates talk to agenticonsult.de.
- Offline tolerance. Once signed in, Command Center refreshes your subscription quietly in the background whenever you are online, and tolerates roughly two weeks fully offline before it asks you to sign in again. Details: How updates work.
