FuzzyClaw / Reticulated / Available now

Private intelligence. Operator-controlled radio.

Run the workspace. Hold the context. Control the link.

Developed by Cenedril Labs, FuzzyClaw Reticulated is a private local AI workspace and operator-controlled Reticulum communications console. It runs on your machine, keeps its workspace local, and launches a browser interface bound to localhost.

Local workspaceRuntime, model, and generated data remain in the install folder.

Windows 10 / 11

Install from the ZIP package

Download ZIP
  1. 01

    Download the ZIP from the official GitHub repository.

  2. 02

    Right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All. Do not run FuzzyClaw from inside the ZIP viewer.

  3. 03

    Open the newly extracted folder.

  4. 04

    Double-click Install-FuzzyClaw.cmd.

  5. 05

    Keep the installer window open until verification completes and FuzzyClaw launches.

  6. 06

    For later launches, double-click FuzzyClaw.vbs for a quiet launch or start.bat for visible diagnostics.

  7. 07

    If anything fails, check data/launcher.log.

Extract first

Windows cannot set up FuzzyClaw correctly if the installer is run from inside the compressed-folder viewer.

First run

Know what happens before you start.

~650MB+

Initial download

The first run may download roughly 650 MB, plus the required Python packages.

Private environment

FuzzyClaw creates a private Python environment inside the extracted folder.

127.0.0.1

Local interface

The browser console binds to localhost rather than a public network address.

Repairable setup

Re-running the installer is safe and can repair or resume interrupted setup.

Your install stays self-contained.

Runtime, model, generated data, and workspace files stay local to the FuzzyClaw installation folder.

Verify / Repair

Check the setup without starting over.

Use the installer to verify an existing installation, repair missing pieces, or run a deeper diagnostic pass.

Verification commands
bash install.sh --verify-only
bash install.sh --install-only
bash install.sh --verify-only --deep-verify

Local model

Use the included model—or your own.

FuzzyClaw runs GGUF models. The default installer downloads a compact local model. Advanced users can place another .gguf file in models/ or paste an absolute model path during setup.

User-supplied model
bash install.sh --no-model

Advanced setup

Install only what you need.

Add an option after bash install.sh. Each flag keeps the setup explicit and operator-controlled.

--no-model

Prepare the app for a user-supplied GGUF model.

--no-speech

Skip local speech and transcription packages.

--no-radio

Use a UI-only recovery path without Reticulum or LXMF packages.

--source-runtime

Build the pinned CPU runtime from source if the portable runtime does not work.

--no-browser

Start without opening a browser automatically.

Troubleshooting

If the signal drops, start here.

Linux says “permission denied”+

Run the installer through Bash or mark both launch scripts as executable.

Terminal
bash install.sh
# or
chmod +x install.sh start.sh
Python or venv is missing on Linux+

The installer will try to install system foundations through the available package manager. Keep the terminal open and approve the system package prompt if one appears.

The Windows installer stops or closes+

Launch start.bat to keep diagnostics visible, then review data/launcher.log. You can safely run Install-FuzzyClaw.cmd again.

Radio packages will not install+

Use --no-radio as a UI-only recovery path. This skips Reticulum and LXMF packages so you can confirm the rest of the application works.

The browser does not open automatically+

Keep the launcher running and open the localhost address it reports. On Linux, avoid --no-browser unless you intentionally want a headless launch.

Ready when you are

Download. Extract. Launch locally.

The installer handles the private environment, local runtime, model, and verification.
