Installation¶
Scelo is a desktop app. Pick your platform:
-
apt(verified, auto-updating), AppImage, or.deb. -
One-click installer, or build the latest on your own machine.
-
The runtime check and choosing a workspace.
System requirements¶
| Minimum | |
|---|---|
| OS | Ubuntu 22.04+ / Debian 12+ (x64) · Windows 10/11 (x64) · macOS 12+ (Intel & Apple Silicon) |
| Disk | ~2 GB (the installer bundles a full Python + R runtime) |
| RAM | 8 GB recommended |
| Network | Only for first download and optional hosted AI / the swarm. The core app runs offline. |
What's bundled
The installer ships a portable CPython and R with the IA actuarial package set (lifelib, chainladder, climada, forecast, ChainLadder, and more). You do not need Python or R installed on your machine.
The Ubuntu 22.04 floor comes from this bundle: the packaged R runtime is built against the 22.04 baseline, so older distributions are missing the system libraries it links. Any distro at or above that baseline works.
A note on "unknown publisher" warnings¶
Downloaded installers are not yet code-signed, so:
- Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper warn on first launch (choose Run anyway / right-click → Open).
- A side-loaded Linux
.debshows "third party" in App Center.
The verified, signed way to install on Linux is the apt repository — see Linux. Signed Windows/macOS installers will follow once the code-signing certificates are in place.
