Desktop client

Install in one command

How to install PromptParle: create a free account, make a desktop license key (pp_live_…), run one terminal command, then set OpenAI/Claude/Gemini/Grok keys in the local UI. The bootstrap is served from this site, then clones PromptParle from GitHub. Chat stays on your PC. PromptParle is free and open to sign up. Chat runs in a free local desktop client on your PC; the portal handles your account, plan, and desktop license keys (pp_live_). Provider API keys are set on the PC. Create a free account at https://promptparle.com/register.

  1. 1

    Create your free account

    Sign up with email + password (or Google / GitHub). It's free — no invite needed.

    Create free account
  2. 2

    Make a desktop license key

    In the portal: API Keys → create a pp_live_… key (shown once) for each desktop. Provider model keys come later on the PC, not in the portal.

    Sign up
  3. 3

    Install, then set provider keys locally

    Run the install command, paste pp_live_…. Then: pp → ⋯ → Providers → Save on this PC (or Set-PromptParleProviderKey).

Pick your system

These one-liners only download a thin bootstrap from promptparle.com. The real install is git clone of the GitHub repo, then the PowerShell installer inside it.

Windows

Needs git + PowerShell · clones from GitHub

irm http://localhost:3000/install.ps1 | iex

Linux / macOS (easy)

Needs git + PowerShell 7 (pwsh) · clones from GitHub

curl -fsSL http://localhost:3000/install.sh | bash
Linux nerds: git clone & other waysoptional · same end result

Prefer full control? Same installer, you drive git and pwsh yourself. Needs git and PowerShell 7 (pwsh).

A. Download script, then run (best if prompts fail)

Avoids curl|bash eating stdin so invitation / key prompts work

curl -fsSL http://localhost:3000/install.sh -o /tmp/pp-install.sh && bash /tmp/pp-install.sh

B. git clone yourself

Clone the repo, then run Install-PromptParle.ps1

git clone --branch main --single-branch https://github.com/exiled4disco/promptparle.git ~/src/promptparle cd ~/src/promptparle pwsh -NoProfile -File ./powershell/Install-PromptParle.ps1 -BaseUrl http://localhost:3000

C. Already cloned? git pull + reinstall

Default path is ~/src/promptparle

cd ~/src/promptparle git pull --ff-only origin main pwsh -NoProfile -File ./powershell/Install-PromptParle.ps1 -BaseUrl http://localhost:3000

D. One-liner with invite code set

Replace PP-XXXX-XXXX with your code · still asks for pp_live_ key

PROMPTPARLE_INVITATION_CODE='PP-XXXX-XXXX' curl -fsSL http://localhost:3000/install.sh | bash

Useful env vars (with install.sh)

  • PROMPTPARLE_CLONE_PATH=$HOME/src/promptparle
  • PROMPTPARLE_REPO_URL=https://github.com/exiled4disco/promptparle.git
  • PROMPTPARLE_BRANCH=main
  • PROMPTPARLE_INVITATION_CODE=PP-XXXX-XXXX
  • PROMPTPARLE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
  • PROMPTPARLE_START=1 · start local chat after install

After any method: Import-Module PromptParle; pp

What the easy command does

  • Fetches bootstrap from this site (install.ps1 / install.sh)
  • Clones github.com/exiled4disco/promptparle (or updates an existing clone)
  • Asks for your desktop license key (pp_live_…)
  • Start chat with Import-Module PromptParle; pp
  • Local UI on 127.0.0.1 · self-update from the same git flow
