Just drop a link to [https://xedant.com/agents/agent/windows.md](https://xedant.com/agents/agent/windows.md) or to [https://xedant.com/llms.txt](https://xedant.com/llms.txt) into any AI chat (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) and ask it to generate the config files and commands. It will read the docs, ask you a few questions about your setup, and hand you a ready-to-use configuration. Save time — let the model do the reading for you. You can also reach me on Telegram — I’m always glad to help. And that’s not just politeness — I genuinely enjoy talking to like-minded people, especially if you love coding as much as I do. ### Minimum system requirements - **1 GB of RAM** — the app uses about 430 MB at idle, and up to 800 MB under active work (depending on which tools it calls) - **1 CPU core** — about 6% load at idle, and up to 80% of one core under active work (depending on the tools called) ### Latest version First time here? Download the latest version — a daily build of the freshest code and features. [Download XedantAgent-Setup-1.0.252.exe (47Mb)](https://download.xedant.com/agent/windows/XedantAgent-Setup-1.0.252.exe) [https://download.xedant.com/agent/windows/XedantAgent-Setup-1.0.252.exe](https://download.xedant.com/agent/windows/XedantAgent-Setup-1.0.252.exe) ### Archive of older versions The complete archive of all past versions — handy if something goes wrong in a fresh build: you can always roll back to the previous one. Note: older versions ship with older demo keys, so their trial period is shorter.

[Open the Docker Desktop for Windows guide](/agents/agent/windows-docker-desktop) **Important note** ## One instance per project Xedant Agent follows the one project, one instance principle. Each instance is fully isolated from the others: a project has its own files, its own settings and its own address. It keeps life simple — you start and stop exactly the instance you need, without touching the rest. By default the app installs with a demo project — a ready example in several programming languages, so you can see everything it can do right away: from development to builds, deployment, automatic bug fixing and skill management. If you launch the app without your own settings, you land in that demo project with its demo skills. ### How to set up your own project For your own folder, create a `.bat` file that sets its [environment variables](/agents/agent/docs/models) , or a shortcut that passes them on the command line. Environment variables are technical launch parameters: you write them once, and the program applies them automatically every time. You don’t have to memorize them — just open a chat with the agent, give it the setup documentation (the INSTALL.md guide that ships with the app, or any setup file of your choice) and ask it to create the file, or the command-line parameter list, for your project. ### About skills [Skills](/agents/agent/docs/skills) are the set of rules the agent works by. They live in the `.claude/skills/` folder inside the project and are stored in version control together with the code — each project has its own skills. The demo project ships with ready-made skills for planning and for editing skills, which work well as templates for your own. ## Installation Below is a step-by-step tour of the setup wizard. The wizard handles most settings itself: it creates the demo project config file and the shortcuts — only a couple of steps need your input. This reference also works offline — for when the internet is down and the online docs are out of reach. ![Image](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/windows-setup-port.png)The port is the number the app opens at in your browser (for example, `http://localhost:5101`). The installer fills in the demo project’s port — you can leave it as is. Each of your projects can have its own port, and they won’t interfere with each other. ![Image](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/windows-setup-path.png)The path to the demo project — the folder with the examples, so you can see what the program can do straight away. You can leave the default path. You will run your own projects the same way: each gets its own folder, set through [environment variables](/agents/agent/docs/models) . ![Image](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/windows-setup-credentials.png)Login and password — your credentials for signing into the app, like an online account. They are stored in the system and apply by default to all your projects. To change them, run the installer again. Want a different login and password for a particular project? Set them through that project’s environment variables. ![Image](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/windows-setup-license.png)The license key — if you already have one. The key is stored in the system and applies automatically to all projects. No key yet? Leave the field empty: the installer issues a trial license, enough to try everything. A separate license for an individual project can be set too. ![Image](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/windows-setup-shortcuts.png)Desktop and Start menu shortcuts — optional. Remember: the shortcuts open the demo project; for your own folder you set up a separate launch with environment variables. ![Image](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/windows-setup-launch.png)The final step is a summary of all settings. Check them over and confirm the installation. ![Image](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/windows-setup-finish.png)Installation complete. The app opens in the browser — sign in with the login and password you set, and start working with the demo project.
