Installation

Requirements

The current workstation profile uses Windows 11, WSL2, an NVIDIA GPU, Blender, Godot and the local environments prepared for ComfyUI, TRELLIS 2, UniRig, ARDY and Llama 3 8B. The validated profile has 24 GB of VRAM and 64 GB of system RAM.

Application setup

  1. Install or unpack the Arke Forge desktop package in its assigned folder.
  2. Keep the provided configuration and scripts beside the application. They contain the known paths for the local runtimes.
  3. Confirm that Blender, Godot, WSL2 and the NVIDIA driver are available.
  4. Start ArkeForge.App.exe.
  5. Check that RAM, VRAM and GPU information appears at the top of the window.
  6. Select or create an asset before opening a production tool.

First check

Open and stop a lightweight module, then verify that its card returns to Ready. For a model-backed module, wait for its card to report that the service is ready before opening its interface.

Warning

Do not move model folders or environments manually. The preview uses workstation-specific paths. A future installer will make those locations configurable.

See Operations before running the first heavy model.
