| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit, version 1903 or later) or Windows 11 |
| Architecture | x86-64 (AMD64). ARM processors are not supported. |
| User Account | Administrator rights required during installation only. Normal operation does not require elevation. |
32-bit Windows is not supported. The bundled Chromium browser (used for Google Lens checks) requires a 64-bit OS.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Dual-core 2 GHz | Quad-core 3 GHz or faster |
| RAM | 4 GB | 8 GB or more |
| Disk Space | 2 GB free (for installation) | 10 GB+ (for downloaded/edited sites) |

| Display | 1280 × 768 | 1920 × 1080 or higher |
The installer automatically handles all of these. You do not need to install them manually.
| Dependency | Version Bundled | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js | LTS (v20.x) | Required runtime for Claude Code CLI and Wrangler |
| Claude Code CLI | Latest at build time | AI engine for Demo, Form, and Reiterate pipeline steps |
| Wrangler CLI | Latest at build time | Deploys static sites to Cloudflare Pages |
| Cyotek WebCopy | Latest at build time | Downloads entire websites for local storage |

If Node.js is already installed on your system, the bundled version installs alongside it and does not replace your existing installation.
You must have accounts with these services and create API credentials before the app can function:
| Service | Required For | Free Tier? |
|---|---|---|
| Google Cloud (Places API) | Lead Discovery searches | $200 free credit/month. Typical usage stays within free tier for small agencies. |
| Cloudflare | Hosting demo sites and final sites | Yes — Cloudflare Pages free tier includes 500 deployments/month, unlimited bandwidth, and up to 100 projects. Typical agency usage stays within these limits. |
| Anthropic (Claude) | AI-powered demo generation, form responses, cold call scraping | No — Claude Code CLI requires an active Anthropic subscription or API key. The app uses Claude Code CLI which authenticates via claude auth. |
Downloaded sites vary widely in size. Here are typical ranges:
| Item | Typical Size |
|---|---|
| Application installation | ~450 MB (includes Chromium) |
| One downloaded site (original) | 5–50 MB |
| One edited site | 5–50 MB (mostly images; no build artifacts) |
| One site backup copy | 50–200 MB per edition |
Keep your data directory on an SSD if possible. WebCopy site downloads involve many small file writes that benefit significantly from SSD speeds.
