System requirements

What Orbis needs to run smoothly

Orbis is a single Electron app plus a small Python engine that speaks to your browser. Nothing here is exotic — if you have a modern dev laptop, you're good. Heavier requirements (RAM, disk) only kick in if you run large suites.

  • CPU

    Any 64-bit x86 or Apple Silicon chip from the last 6 years.

  • Storage

    500 MB for the app; runs/screenshots grow over time — budget 1-5 GB if you run nightly suites.

  • Browser

    A Chromium-family browser (Chrome / Brave / Edge / Chromium). Orbis drives it through CDP.

  • Network

    Only outbound to your LLM provider. Update-check pings orbis.darcode.dev once on launch.

  • LLM key

    BYO. Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, xAI, Mistral, OpenRouter, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Stored in your OS keychain.

  • Permissions

    Read/write inside your Orbis data folder. No system-wide changes, no background services.

After install

Three minutes from download to first run

  1. step 1
    Install

    Open the installer for your OS. Approve the security warning once if needed.

  2. step 2
    Onboard

    The welcome wizard walks through privacy, permissions, and your LLM key in 60 seconds.

  3. step 3
    Paste your LLM key

    Anthropic Sonnet or Gemini 2.0 Flash are cheap-and-fast defaults. Or use OpenAI / DeepSeek / xAI / Mistral / Ollama.

  4. step 4
    Describe a scenario

    Two sentences. Hit Run. Watch live in the Live Run tab while the agent works.

Heads-up

Why your OS may warn you

Unsigned builds will trigger a Gatekeeper / SmartScreen warning on first launch. Code-signed builds roll out per release. If your installer shows the warning, here's how to get past each prompt safely.

macOS

Control-click (or right-click) the app icon → Open → Open. After you do this once, macOS remembers and won't prompt again.

Windows

Click "More info" on the SmartScreen prompt → "Run anyway". The installer continues normally.

Linux

No warnings. For .AppImage, make sure it's executable: chmod +x Orbis-QA-*.AppImage.
