Getting Started with Prism AI on Windows: PowerShell Install & First Session

Setting up a new development or writing environment should be fast and frictionless. When designing Prism AI, I wanted installation on Windows to be as simple as running a single PowerShell command while keeping all dependencies transparent.

In this post, we will walk through the quick installation process, verifying your environment, and starting your very first research session.

One-Line PowerShell Installation

Prism AI provides an automated installer script that handles setup securely on Windows. Open PowerShell and run:

This script retrieves the latest stable release components, sets up directory structures, and prepares your workspace for local AI configuration.

Your First Research Session

Once installed:

1. Launch Prism Chat to initialize your project directory and notes database.
2. Open Prism Studio to test your first LaTeX document compilation.
3. Configure your local Ollama connection or API keys in settings.
